Donor Recognition Program

 

The Donor Recognition Program was created by USP to demonstrate our appreciation for the valuable contributions of stakeholders like you. This collaboration between USP and industry plays a vital role in improving global public health by developing and helping ensure the availability of quality standards worldwide.

Involvement in the USP Donations Program underscores your company’s dedication to quality, reflecting positively on the corporate reputation, especially among key decision-makers shaping pricing and patent decisions.
