PSCI E-learning Tool
We have created the e-learning tool to help member companies and suppliers to understand the Principles. The tool is available freely to all.

We created the PSCI Principles for Responsible Supply Chain Management, known as the Principles, to articulate what the industry expects from the supply chain.
These Principles address five areas of responsible business practice: ethics, labor, health & safety, environment, and management systems.
In each area, the Principles set out the relevant practices any business operating within the pharmaceutical supply chain is expected to uphold.
All members are expected to support and incorporate the Principles into their key supplier documents and agreements.
Our Maturity Models provides further clarification to the Principles in each of the five areas, providing a framework for improvement and for how to meet expectations.
Our Learning Plans map the PSCI resources available to support supplier advancement against the Principles.
