At Sanofi, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.

This common purpose, bold yet humble, unites all Sanofi employees across the world in our ongoing quest to make life better for the people and communities we serve. It is the compass that guides us in the work we do every day.

But our purpose is more than just words; it’s the actions we take to earn the trust of our stakeholders – and the way we show up for one another – that really matters. Embracing our Play to Win behaviors, sticking to a clear, long-term strategy and creating a culture that allows people to bring their whole selves to work, ignites our progress while maintaining the utmost ethical standards.

Our Code of Conduct summarizes all these elements.

It is our company’s “constitution” and a pre-requisite, mandatory read for all Sanofi employees and those we do business with.

It also represents a public commitment to our stakeholders – healthcare professionals, patients, scientists, investors – who are entitled to know what we as Sanofians value and how we are playing to win with integrity.

As a world leader in healthcare, we have a responsibility to be both ethical in our endeavors while also striving for change that matters. It is our mission to contribute to elevating the voice of patients, highlighting the importance of scientific innovation, and building sustainable healthcare systems with all of our stakeholders.

Just as our society continues to evolve and modernize, so must we. Whether technological, scientific or cultural, we are always adapting. The data and digital revolution has only begun to reshape healthcare systems. The mobilization for greater social justice and equity calls for quick, concrete corporate actions. The fight against climate change requires long-term planning. As a company, we must understand and mitigate the risks these evolutions can have on our operations and reputation, and, of equal importance, leverage the opportunities they can bring to help us create real, measurable impact.

Every employee has a responsibility to uphold Sanofi’s values and a role to play in driving our success as a modern healthcare company. A company that is always focused on conducting business responsibly and respecting human rights. A company that takes thoughtful risks to develop breakthrough medicines and vaccines and make them accessible to people who need them as quickly as possible. A company that puts diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as health and environmental sustainability at the core of its ambitions. A company that is always focused on doing the right thing, the right way.

We work in an industry whose purpose is to innovate to save people’s lives and preserve public health.

Such a unique purpose comes with heightened expectations. Responsible innovation is therefore at the heart of everything we do and this Code of Conduct supports us along that journey.

As the world confronts tremendous change and technological innovation grows exponentially, we venture into the unknown in the pursuit of the miracles of science. Many of the decisions and challenges we will face will be less black or white, but a lot grayer. Ethics and innovation will be our compass, guiding us and allowing us to succeed in our mission to discover the extraordinary. It will differentiate us from the others: what we call Play-to-Win with Integrity.

The traditional boundaries of the company are broadening and shifting from enterprise to ecosystem. Hence our conviction that Sanofi’s commitment to integrity must extend beyond our employees and business partners. This includes our engagement with patients, healthcare professionals, providers, payers, authorities, NGOs, IGOs and many more to shape a responsible healthcare ecosystem.

Improving the lives of millions of people around the world through ground-breaking health innovation requires a culture that is driven by trust, integrity and thoughtful risk-taking.

Avoiding excessive caution and carelessness allows us to find the right balance between opportunities and risks, to make bold and informed choices, always putting patients first.

Ethics-by-design, Thoughtful Risk Taking, simplified ways of working, co-design with stakeholders, sustainability and transparency are fundamental building blocks of our strategy.

Tomorrow’s most valuable and enduring companies will be those that support such efforts today.

Having the courage to do the right thing, at the right time and for the right reason, by upholding our commitment to integrity every day in each act we undertake is our True North. This is rooted in organizational justice and psychological safety, including an openness to speak-up, challenge the status quo and give opinions without fear of retaliation.

This Code of Conduct covers the dimensions we believe are essential to achieving our commitment to patients and society, including our actions to maximize opportunities and mitigate risks in each of these areas of our business.

Our employees and partners have access to a variety of resources and initiatives supporting the Code of Conduct. We also recognize the rapidly changing landscape we work in and Sanofi is dedicated to continuous learning and improvement over time.

We count on all of you to Play Your Part and become true ambassadors of our Code of Conduct. That’s how we will accelerate our cultural transformation and pursue our noble purpose.
