Certifications and Audits
EUROAPI is reinforcing its responsible purchasing approach
EUROAPI launched the process for joining the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI). This non-profit business membership organization brings together pharmaceutical companies and API producers to promote responsible supply chain practices and share supplier audits.
