Our annual ABPI training took place on 21st February.

Provided by Compliance Hub, the training enables us to keep up to date with the changes in the ABPI Code of Practice to ensure both our Pharmisa and Medisa services remain compliant. The training not only provides our teams with an understanding of the code of practice and how it affects our business, but also an understanding of how it impacts our customers.

Our membership to Compliance Hub’s Agency Recognition and Training Scheme continues to demonstrate our focus on compliance and commitment to complying with the codes of practice that affect our customers.

Over the past three decades we have worked with numerous pharmaceutical, healthcare, animal health and nutrition clients enabling us to develop extensive knowledge and expertise in these areas.

We always seek to fully understand our client’s needs, the regulatory controls and often challenges they face when marketing pharmaceutical and healthcare products.

Systems are fundamental to our operation, driving business efficiency and customer experience which have been designed in line with the pharmaceutical industry requirements.

Compliance and the adherence to specific industry codes of practice is key to the services we provide and our accreditations support this: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, MHRA Wholesale Distribution Authorisation, MHRA Manufacturer’s Licence, Compliance Hub ARTS Member and annual ABPI training.

We believe that our focus on compliance and understanding of the healthcare environment is an essential element in making Pharmisa and Medisa an effective and trusted partner.

We are pleased to announce that CPG continues to be a member of the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce for the seventh consecutive year.

We are delighted to announce that we have joined Treeapp committing to planting 30 trees a month. The Treeapp is the largest platform for eco-conscious brands demonstrating our commitment to sustainability.

By planting trees with Treeapp, we are having a direct environmental and social impact around the globe. While Treeapp plants in regions that are in desperate need of more trees such as Brazil or Indonesia, they also focus on planting activities in some of the poorest regions around the world to benefit indigenous farmers and local communities with revenues from tree planting.

Treeapp also supports the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) with their planting activities such as aiming to empower women on many of their sites and in Ethiopia all their tree planters are women.

We are looking forward to working with Treeapp and we will keep you updated on our collaboration.

We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and we continually review our impact on the environment as a company overall. The packaging we use is designed to have the least impact to the environment whilst continuing to protect the materials we store and ship.

Key packaging types are:

• Carton boxes. Made from a minimum 70% recycled material and are 100% recyclable and compostable
• Air bags. The material used within bubble bags is LDPE Polythene and is made from 50% recycled material. The bubbles are 100% recyclable
