Pharma Industry Finland’s modes of operation and work

• The General Assembly holds the supreme decision-making powers over all PIF operations. All member companies can attend the Spring and Autumn Assemblies. 
• The Board of Directors elected among the members​ sets the strategic focuses and outlines.
• The Working Committee​ is a body comprising a smaller number of Board members and it prepares the issues discussed at Board meetings.
• The expert organisation is responsible for running PIF’s day-to-day operations. 

Work flows aim at good operating environment

• Social and political lobbying – we work in direct interaction with the authorities and other key operators in the pharmaceutical branch.
• External communications and partnership building – we are active in the public arenas and co-operate with the external stakeholders.
• Internal PIF operations and related communications – the PIF offices are in charge of expert work, collaborating and interacting with the member companies. This also involves the work in the PIF committees, workshops and networks.

Committees and expert networks

• The policy committees​ generate ideas and support PIF’s long-term objectives.
• The operative committees​ assist in the everyday work, such as drafting opinions on issues at hand.
• Expert networks constituted by larger groups of people elaborate on specific current issues. 
• Workshops provide assistance in projects with a determined timeframe.

Our objectives for the next term of government 2011-2014

• The pharmacotherapies accessible to Finnish patients must develop in pace with the rest of Europe
