Membership Responsibilities and Requirements

Thank you for your interest in joining the PSCI.

Becoming a PSCI Member means contributing to a community committed to driving responsible value chain practices. Our Members uphold the PSCI Principles and abide by the Membership expectations.

As a PSCI Member, your company will be expected to:

Demonstrate your commitment to responsible supply chain practices by publicly endorsing the PSCI Principles on your website or within key supplier-facing documents.
Actively participate in PSCI activities, including engaging in committees, attending the two annual Member Meetings, and contributing to Member votes.
Pay annual membership fees according to membership type and annual revenue.
Comply with PSCI governance requirements, including the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Principles, Membership Agreements, and Anti-Trust Policy.
Contribute supplier audits to the shared PSCI audit platform to support transparency and collaboration across the industry. Full Members are expected to contribute a minimum of five supplier audits annually.
Progress towards Full Membership if joining as an Associate Member. Associate Members have up to three years to develop their audit programme before transitioning to Full Membership.

Membership Eligibility

Membership is open to companies in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry that share our vision of excellence in safety, environmental, and social outcomes across the global pharmaceutical and healthcare value chain.

To be eligible for membership, your company must fit at least one of the following requirements:

Substantial revenues* from patented / proprietary medicines or medical devices
Substantial revenues* from medical products sold direct to consumer under the company’s brand
Manufacture generic (off patent) medicines and medical products where these are substantially* sold direct to customers under the company’s own marketing licenses
Provide ingredients or components where these are substantially* patented or trademarked by the supplying companies

*more than 50% of the company’s sales

For companies that are not quite ready for Full membership, an Associate Membership category is available which allows companies to develop their practices towards Full membership. Associate membership allows companies to learn as a part of PSCI whilst you build your sustainability and audit programs. Associate members must progress to full membership within a maximum of 3 years.

For supplying companies, we also offer the Supplier Partnership category. Membership and Supplier Partnership are restricted to only those companies that fit the respective requirements.

All membership applications are reviewed by the Board, and existing members are given the opportunity to comment. Applicants will likely be contacted for further information during this process. As such, please expect the process to take approximately 3-4 months from submitting the application to approval; on some occasions, it may take longer. The PSCI Secretariat is available to speak to throughout this time.
