Corporate Responsibility

At PCI, the company has served as the bridge connecting life-changing therapies to patients for over half a century. This profound responsibility is met with an unwavering passion and a sense of humility. Guided by values such as accountability, flexibility, and excellence, the team at PCI is dedicated to aiding customers in the production of critical medications for both clinical trials and the broader public.

The Environmental Social Governance (ESG) strategy embraced by PCI embodies these core values and reflects the company’s commitment to customers, communities, and the planet. It recognizes the pivotal role PCI plays in the pharmaceutical supply chain, delivering products that enhance and prolong lives. This commitment to sustainability is driven by the profound societal dependence on their business.

PCI has fully integrated ESG considerations into its daily operations, empowering employees at every site to translate their ideas into tangible actions that positively impact the world. The ESG program at PCI is structured around nine key impact categories, serving as the pillars of change. The company is resolute in its dedication to these areas, aiming to drive global progress as a unified, global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO). KPIs, targets, and sustainability frameworks have been carefully chosen for each category, aligning with the priorities of stakeholders. This strategic approach ensures that PCI remains focused, inclusive, authentic, ambitious, and results-oriented in its pursuit of ESG goals.

PCI’s commitment to ESG is evident in its current initiatives. These include extensive support for STEM projects in local communities, partnerships with suppliers and collaborators to promote sustainable packaging solutions, and a concerted effort to reduce waste sent to landfills. The company is also firmly committed to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint, actively contributing to the global effort to halve emissions by 2030.

PCI’s commitment extends to measuring progress within the local and global communities where it operates and serves. The company recognizes that its global purpose is rooted in local actions, and the positive impact created in smaller communities ripples outward to shape a more significant global influence.

PCI approaches its ESG journey with utmost seriousness, holding itself accountable for tangible results. Recognizing that its approach, processes, and targets may evolve over time, the company commits to transparency and continual improvement. Lessons learned along the way will be openly shared and leveraged to refine and enhance its ESG initiatives.
