The Context
The Pharma Sustainability Imperative
Pharma is under rising scrutiny on ESG and supply chain conduct. One widely cited 2019 study found the pharmaceutical sector accounts for around 4.4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, higher in intensity than the automotive sector. Buyers now audit suppliers against the PSCI Principles. Regulators expect disclosure: SEBI requires the top 1,000 listed Indian companies to file the BRSR, and CSRD in the EU is extending reporting duties across global value chains.
For a pharmaceutical company, that means three pressures at once: prove responsible operations, prove a responsible supply chain, and report it all credibly. This page shows how we help you do that.

The Differentiator
PSCI Advisory and Approved Audits
We are an approved audit firm of the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative. A PSCI audit checks a supplier's performance against industry expectations, so you can trust and improve your supply base.
The Five PSCI Principle Areas
The PSCI Principles set expectations across five areas: ethics, labour, health and safety, environment, and management systems. We assess and improve performance in each. See the full PSCI Principles for the framework detail.
