PCI Philosophies and Principles

PCI Corporate Code of Ethics and Business Conduct provides a set of rules based on both national and international standards to ensure PCI’s employees are upholding the highest level of ethical conduct in their day-to-day business.

All employees are trained on PCI Corporate Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and it is easily accessible by all staff.

PCI strives to ensure that it does not contribute towards adverse human rights impacts through its supply chains. There is an on-going commitment to engage only those suppliers that uphold the same principles as PCI and where necessary ensure the implementation of corrective action measures. In the event that suppliers fail to take steps to cease or prevent adverse human rights impacts, PCI will reconsider its business relationships with those suppliers.

Supply Chain Overview

The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain is highly regulated with several layers of suppliers from source of raw materials to the distribution of final product. As well as being highly regulated the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain typically also consists of a highly trained and skilled workforce where the risks of slavery or human trafficking are lower.

Although recognising human rights and environmental impact in the supply chain is ultimately our suppliers’ responsibility, as customers, PCI works closely with them to clearly communicate our expectations. This encourages relationships based on trust and transparency.

In our standard procurement process we only use approved suppliers who are regularly audited. If any issues are identified during an audit the supplier is required to prepare a Corrective Action Plan and resolve all issues within an agreed time period.

When purchase orders are issued, they incorporate our Standard Terms & Conditions of purchase (T&C’s). The UK Regional Purchasing Policy (POL-012) has been issued internally to ensure all staff are aware of obligations when dealing with suppliers.

All goods are inspected at point of receipt. Compliance to specification is confirmed which includes full traceability of all materials, country of origin and transparency during the manufacturing process. This is ensured through stringent documentation controls.

Review of Internal Policies

A review of PCI’s existing Corporate Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was conducted in 2019 to ensure its relevance and compliance with the Act. A copy of the Corporate Code of Ethics and Business Conduct can be found here.

PCI’s Continued Commitment

PCI recognises the importance of maintaining constant vigilance to identify and address any impacts associated with slavery and human trafficking throughout its supply chains. In recognition of the salience of these issues, PCI is committed to continuing to enhance its capacity to identify, prevent and mitigate any actual or potential impacts in this field.
