We find the injective hulls of partially ordered monoids in the category whose objects are po-monoids and submultiplicative order-preserving functions. These injective hulls are with respect to a special class of monics called ``embeddings''. We show as well that the injective objects with respect to these embeddings are precisely the quantales.
Keywords: partially ordered monoids, injectives
