Corporate and Social Responsibility

At Pro Pharmaceuticals Group, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is at the core of how we operate. From urgent access hospital supply to global humanitarian support, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, transparency, and purpose. We recognise that ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility, and safeguarding human rights are critical to the long-term sustainability of both our business and the communities we serve.

​​

🌐 Global Recognition and Commitment
​

Pro Pharmaceuticals Group is a registered supplier with the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM, Vendor No. 1092276). This registration reflects our alignment with international procurement principles and our commitment to transparency, ethical conduct, and equitable access to medicines.

​

We are currently progressing toward Level 1 registration, with active onboarding steps underway for agencies including:

​

  • UNICEF

  • United Nations Secretariat

  • UNOPS

  • UNRWA

 

We also actively engage with global humanitarian stakeholders such as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to support equitable access to life-saving medicines — including TB treatments — particularly within Australia’s public hospital system. 

 

This expanding recognition supports our position as a trusted, compliant partner in the ethical supply of unregistered and essential medicines, aligned with WHO protocols, national regulations, and global public health goals. ​

​

Global Public Health Partnerships

​

Pro Pharmaceuticals Group has been formally approved to procure through the Global Drug Facility (GDF), an initiative of the Stop TB Partnership.

 

This enables us to support Australia’s tuberculosis programs by supplying quality-assured TB medicines via the TGA’s Special Access Scheme (SAS) and Section 19A frameworks — on a non-profit, cost-recovery basis.

 

This role reflects our broader commitment to equitable access, ethical sourcing, and public health resilience, particularly for underserved and high-risk patient populations.

 
Our Ethical Foundation
​

We support the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, which promote:

  • Human rights

  • Fair and safe labour practices

  • Environmental responsibility

  • Anti-corruption

 

These values underpin our decision-making, supplier selection, and internal governance policies.

 
Modern Slavery and Human Rights
​

  • We conduct regular risk assessments of our global supply chain to identify and mitigate modern slavery and unethical labour practices.

  • All suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets expectations around ethical employment, legal compliance, and human rights protections.

  • We provide training and guidance to employees and key partners on recognising and responding to risks of human exploitation.

 
Sustainability in Practice
​

  • We actively reuse validated cold-chain shippers in collaboration with our warehouse and hospital partners to reduce landfill waste.

  • We engage our logistics providers to continuously improve efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint.

  • Our product sourcing and packaging decisions are guided by environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability.

​
Anti-Corruption and Governance
​

  • We maintain strict anti-corruption procedures, including third-party due diligence and conflict-of-interest declarations.

  • We engage only with partners who meet our ethical and legal standards.

  • Our internal code of conduct is mandatory for all employees and reviewed annually to ensure ongoing compliance with best practice.

 
Supplier Oversight and Compliance
​

  • We regularly monitor supplier compliance through audits, checklists, and corrective action plans where necessary.

  • We maintain long-term relationships with trusted GMP/GDP-aligned suppliers and warehouse partners.

  • Site visits, quality reviews, and compliance assessments are embedded into our supplier management process.

 
Training and Reporting
​

  • We provide internal and partner training on ethics, anti-slavery, and anti-bribery topics.

  • We encourage a culture of accountability, where anyone in our supply chain can raise concerns safely and confidentially.

  • A dedicated reporting mechanism exists for confidential disclosures related to misconduct or non-compliance.

 
Community Giving
​

A portion of our monthly profits is donated to UNICEF, supporting global child health, education, and humanitarian programs.

 

We believe CSR is not a marketing initiative — it is a responsibility. Every aspect of our business, from product sourcing to logistics and compliance, is driven by the goal of improving lives and advancing access to medicines.​
