Vicki Stone-Bjarup, 2022 Chair of the PSCI, says,
Sectors around the world are working to tackle the sustainability challenges of their industry. This report transparently shares the successes that PSCI members have achieved for our sector over the last year, as well as the journey left to take. There is still a long way to go, but we are so proud to be a part of the progress being made in the pharmaceutical industry. Our focus remains to support our members to build responsible supply chains.

In 2022, the PSCI and Sustainable Markets Initiative Health Systems Task Force Members worked together to develop a set of joint climate & sustainability targets for their suppliers. PSCI was engaged as part of the effort and will be including the standards into the existing maturity model.
The aim of this webinar is to:
• Provide an overview of the work of the Task Force and PSCI to support decarbonisation of health care supply chains
• Announce the Task Force’s joint supplier sustainability targets and discuss implications for suppliers
The SMI Health Systems Task Force was launched at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) with the central aim of accelerating the delivery of net zero, patient-centric healthcare systems that improve individual, societal, and planetary health. The public-private partnership brings together CEOs and leaders from AstraZeneca, GSK, Merck, Novo Nordisk, Roche, Samsung Biologics, Sanofi, the Karolinska Institutet, National Health Service England, the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition, UNICEF, the University of Pavia, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Task Force members aligned on a set of joint targets and engaged with suppliers and with PSCI during the process. The key dimensions of the targets were published at COP27 as part of the SMI Health Systems Task Force whitepaper on Decarbonising Supply Chains.
Decarbonizing the pharmaceutical industry in line with global efforts is a core component of PSCI’s environmental principle. Action is needed and PSCI members realize the importance of working together with their suppliers, often the majority of the footprint across the whole value chain.
This is why we're pleased to launch the PSCI Decarbonization Pathway, a tool that the industry can use to move towards a net zero value chain, in line with global goals such as the COP Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals. The maturity model provides a clear pathway for suppliers to develop their capability and response towards reducing their carbon emissions.
PSCI Members, through their Decarbonization team and partnerships with leading organisations, will continue to provide the resources that suppliers will need in this journey.
In this video, the PSCI reiterates its commitment to supporting our members to understand human rights practices in pharmaceutical supply chains and outlines the resources available to help make it happen across the industry.
Together with our members, the PSCI understands that society and business are best served by responsible business behaviors and practices. With our training materials, conferences, and tools, we aim not only to ensure the upholding of our Principles, but also to support all our members in implementing the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in their supply chain and improving their human rights impacts around the world.

Surrogates such as naproxen sodium, lactose and mannitol are used in place of an API to determine particulate containment provided by a containment equipment such as an isolator. Selection of a surrogate, surrogate properties (moisture content, particle size distribution), methods for surrogate monitoring, locations of area positional samples, and Containment Performance Target (CPT) concentrations, are critical in the decision making, among other factors. The speakers will share surrogate monitoring methods utilizing ISPE Good Practice Guide: Assessing the Particulate Containment Performance of Pharmaceutical Equipment.

Today the PSCI published its 2021 Annual Report, summarizing a year of exceptional advancement towards achieving our shared vision of excellence in safety, environmental, and social outcomes across the global pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chain.
Key developments in 2021 include:
Manjit Singh, 2021 PSCI Chair and Associate Director of Corporate Sustainability at Centrient Pharmaceuticals says,
2021 was a year of spectacular growth for the PSCI in membership and activity. Despite the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, every aspect of the PSCI's program developed and grew from our shared audits to our supplier capability interactions. I have appreciated the professional and energetic contribution of my fellow PSCI members and watched with great pride the growth of the organization and the impact it has upon our entire industry.
You can read about these advancements and more in the report below.
We welcome comments and encourage you to share this report with your networks using the hashtag #PSCIAnnualReport.
The Musi River flows through Hyderabad in Telangana State, Southern India. It is fed by the world-heritage Hussein Sagar lake, also called the “heart of the world”, and used to be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike for its beauty and amenity. Yet, there have been numerous reports of polluted effluents and poor wastewater management practices affecting the lake and the Musi River watershed, impacting local communities over many years.
For World Water Day 2021 (22 March), we published a statement outlining our support for the State government's initiative and our plans to help. We aimed to use our influence to engage with suppliers of PSCI members in Telangana to promote better wastewater practices and encourage positive change. Our aim is that every single supplier with a connection to a PSCI member should be visited, audited or contacted directly to promote the best technologies for wastewater management.
One year later, we're pleased to share an update on progress made. Since March 2021, we have
Our aim is that all suppliers to PSCI members should provide information about their wastewater treatment practices, either via member visit, questionnaire, or a full site audit shared on our platform.
To continue this work, we will
We hope to contribute to restoring the Musi River to its former health.
This document addresses the common questions suppliers have around the PSCI audit program. The key points include:
The Audit Committee has recently conducted a light refresh on the SAQ/Audit Excel template, and the Audit Guidance document. The new versions are now available on the Link.

Our final newsletter of 2021 reflects on our virtual AGM, successful Supplier Conferences, and the launch of our position statement on Human Rights.
At the PSCI, we’re committed to supporting all our members to implement the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) as part of our mission to drive excellence in safety, environmental, and social outcomes across the pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chain.
That’s why for Human Rights Day (10 December), we’re excited to launch our new Position Statement, which provides an overview of the role we play in helping our members and suppliers align their practices with the UNGPs through the PSCI Principles for Responsible Supply Chain Management and our resources.
With our training materials, webinars, and tools we aim not only to ensure the upholding of our Principles, but also to support all our members in implementing the UNGPs across their entire supply chains.

Anti-bribery and corruption is one of the issues under the PSCI Principles. The PSCI has commissioned an external benchmark on anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) standards and trends in supply chain. This report has been created to help our member companies and suppliers strengthen the ABC risk management practice in their supply chain.
Background: Regulations around anti‐corruption have been tightened and stakeholder expectations have increased. PSCI wants to encourage and support members and suppliers to continually enhance their anti‐corruption program for compliance with the latest guidelines issued by different regulatory authorities around the globe. Organizations are expected to develop proactive, risk‐based compliance programs that are tailored to the specific risk profile and are reasonably designed to prevent them and their employees/agents/suppliers from engaging in bribery or corrupt acts.

We are very pleased to announce that the 2020 PSCI Annual Report was launched today, summarizing the progress and achievements we have made in advancing responsible supply chain practices within the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries over the past year.
Key developments in 2020 include:
2020 was an extraordinary year, full of large-scale professional challenges for our industry and its supply chain, not to mention the personal challenges we all faced in our own lives. We are proud of the way the PSCI adjusted to these challenges, showing remarkable agility. It is clear that the importance of responsible supply chain practices cannot be overstated and we are pleased to be able to drive positive change across the industry through our collaborative efforts.
We welcome comments and encourage you to share this report with your networks.
Since 2016, a group of PSCI members have been working together to standardize their environmental data request to suppliers through a common set of questions, known as the PSCI Environmental Survey. The benefit is that suppliers should be receiving a common set of questions, but currently companies collect the data using different routes: some use an Excel file, and some a third-party platform.
The PSCI has now built the Environmental Survey into the PSCI platform for suppliers (called The Link). Each of the PSCI’s 50 members will now be able to use that platform to collect data from suppliers and we anticipate that many will do so. We hope that this will streamline and simplify your reporting of environmental and carbon emissions to your customers as one reply can now be shared with many customers.
Watch this webinar to learn more about the new platform and how to use it. You'll hear about:
We were delighted to be joined by Alejandro Fiocco, Partner at Carnstone and Secretariat for the PSCI Environment Team.

More great publicity for the PSCI with thanks to Dan Caldwell (Johnson & Johnson) and Steve Brooks (AMR Alliance) who recently recorded this CPhI podcast on pharmaceuticals in the environment (PiE) and anti-microbial resistance (AMR) and what the industry is doing to help address the challenge.
The PSCI has published a PEC:PNEC calculator tool for manufacturers to use to calculate how to meet safe levels of discharge for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from their sites.

This document is a step by step guidance on using the PSCI Environmental survey for suppliers on the PSCI platform. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
This file contains the latest version of the PSCI Environmental survey for suppliers in Excel. The scoring for each question is detailed and questions are mapped across to the previous version.
Our April newsletter reflects recent activities including our support to the Musi River Revitalization Initiative, the publication of our Benchmarking Survey Insights Report, and our outreach campaign on the vital issue of anti-microbial resistance. It also highlights our upcoming plans and events, such as our Virtual Spring Meeting, and external developments relevant to pharmaceutical supply chains.
At the PSCI, we’re committed to doing everything in our power to limit that the spread and growth of two emerging threats – Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (PiE) and Anti-microbial Resistance (AMR). That’s why for World Health Day, we’re excited today to launch our new Position Statement, which provides a clear explanation of the critical role we play in helping our supplier partners improve their manufacturing practices. The statement has been written to highlight the relevance of the PiE issue along the supply chain, to articulate the PSCI's position on this high profile topic, and to help answer stakeholder inquiries. It includes an overview of all PSCI resources on PiE and AMR-related issues.

Supplier Self-initiated Audit Programme (SSIA) is a pilot programme led by PSCI Audit Committee to encourage suppliers to take a proactive, risk-based approach and self-initiate PSCI audits for their facilities.
With the pilot programme this year, the PSCI will pay for a new Supplier Self-initiated Audit of the supplier facility. The audit should be completed by a PSCI approved audit firm and shared with PSCI members on the Link. Any supplier to PSCI Member can apply to participate in SSIA.
This document for suppliers explains:
Members are welcome to share the brochure with suppliers you would like to see conducting a PSCI audit.
If you are interested in learning more about the programme, please contact Audit Committee Secretariat Blake Zheng for more information. Thank you.
In 2020, we invited the PSCI members to participate in our third formal Member Benchmarking Survey and we are pleased to present the results in this Insights Report. We have used the data collected over the years to share year-on-year trends, as well as provide a snapshot from 2020.
This report paints a picture of rising engagement and increasing focus on responsible procurement. We hope that you find it useful and insightful.
This document provides a guidance for auditors to classify Critical-Major-Minor findings under all five PSCI principles. It is for guidance only and each organization can have its own interpretations.
It is intended to be a living document, which will be reviewed and updated regularly by SAQ/Audit and Audit Guidance sub team.

Presentation Pack from the 2018 PSCI Auditor Training, 4 - 5 December in Vienna, Austria
This maturity model has been developed:
Over the past year the PSCI has gone from strength to strength, growing both in numbers and influence. In line with our growing reach, we have produced a short video explaining the work of the Initiative. We hope that members and stakeholders share this with their networks, and that it helps those unfamiliar with our work understand what we do.
The film is now also available with subtitles in the following languages, click on the links to view the videos on Vimeo:
"2018 has seen PSCI gain more members, reach more suppliers, perform more audits and host more events than ever before. The growth in our membership is a huge achievement but it is the growth in our impact that I am most proud of.
In the pages of this report you will read about our other achievements this year: holding members accountable, setting up a Board Advisory Panel, sharing data on suppliers’ carbon emissions, and a new visual brand identity and logo. Perhaps the most important pages are the ones that show our impact; the suppliers trained, the audits completed and followed up, the downloads of advisory documents from our technical library."
