Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) Consulting
What Is PSCI and Which Companies Need It?
The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) is an industry-led collaboration whose Principles set expectations for responsible practices across pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chains. They cover ethics, human rights and labour, health and safety, environment, and management systems. Manufacturers, API producers and CMOs/CDMOs may be asked by customers to demonstrate alignment.
