"At Sanofi, we believe we have a responsibility to make a difference to the health of our communities and for the care of the planet. We want to elevate our ambition for our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and ensure it is fully embedded into our mission to chase the miracles of science and to improve people’s lives, with the vision for a better future. At Sanofi, we strive to do more."
Sanofi has been steadily advancing on the implementation of its CSR strategy since 2020 along four key pillars:
To further improve Affordable access to medicines, Sanofi has made significant progress since the launch of its Global Health Unit (GHU) a year ago. The event highlights achievements of the GHU since its creation including the recently announced launch of an impact investment fund that will support start-up companies and other innovators that can deliver scalable solutions for sustainable healthcare in underserved regions. In parallel, Sanofi GHU is also launching Impact, the new GHU dedicated brand for non-profit distribution and that will enable the secure distribution of 30 Sanofi medicines in 40 lower-income countries.
With its focus on R&D for unmet needs, the elimination of sleeping sickness has been a long-standing mission for Sanofi, where the company continues to do more to change the treatment paradigm for the most vulnerable communities.
As part of Sanofi’s efforts for Planet care, the company announced its ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030 and net zero by 2050 last year, which marks an acceleration of 20 years versus its previous commitments. This year, Sanofi will outline its roadmap to reach carbon neutrality by 2030 and illustrate the positive impact of carbon offsetting programs on communities as well as the environment, contributing to its 2050 net zero commitment.
To ensure its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) strategy is rightly executed, monitor progress on the company’s 2025 targets and learn from external thought-leaders, Sanofi announced the creation of its first DE&I board in April 2022. Dr Rohini Anand, DE&I board member and renowned thought-leader, will be joining the event for a conversation on Sanofi DE&I ambitions in and beyond the workplace.
