Abstract: Objective To improve social responsibility consciousness of pharmaceutical manufacturers and to provide suggestions for them to fulfill social responsibility. Methods Five aspects, including raw materials procurement, production, market supplement, sales and management were explored to analyze the current status and the problems in social responsibility of pharmaceutical manufacturers, and suggestions were put forward. Results and Conclusion At present, there are still defects in the every step of the operation of pharmaceutical manufacturers, which shows the lack of social responsibility consciousness. The enterprises procure poor quality raw materials for reducing the cost and the suppliers are scattered everywhere; pollution and safety problems still exist in the process of producing; enterprises use illegal means to disrupt the market and the supplement structure is not reasonable; enterprises use false advertisements to mislead consumers in selling and the sales personnel do not have high quality; decisionmakers have their limitations etc. Through self-examination, self-inspection and self-correction, the enterprises should ensure the source of raw materials, reduce the pollution and increase investment in scientific research. They should also guarantee quality and safety in production, reduce unnecessary additional cost and use the corporate culture to influence employees to perform the social responsibility actively, so that pharmaceutical enterprises in China develop sustainably and harmoniously.
