Transforming Spaces, Empowering Lives
We’re putting our Workplace Accessibility Standard into action, creating concrete solutions that remove barriers some Sanofians face every day. Our ambitious WorkX 2.0 and Digital Accessibility standards ensure that by 2025 and beyond, 100% of people with disabilities will have full workplace and digital accessibility, including assistive software when they need it.
Pioneering Inclusive Digital Experiences
Our digital commitment extends beyond mere compliance— we consult and plan with experts to develop and implement robust Digital Accessibility standards. Through Digital Accessibility Audits, Assistive Software Catalogue development, and the implementation of WCAG & PDF/UA in key global platform launches, we're actively aligning our digital presence with inclusivity. We're always improving our design system, with accessibility front and center. That's why we've partnered with a top digital accessibility supplier to develop and implement a best-in-class global digital accessibility standard by 2025.
Our Ability+ Communities
In the spirit of fostering diversity and inclusion, our Ability+ Employee Resource Groups actively propel disability inclusion. With a global membership exceeding 500 in 18 countries, their focus on accessibility, neurodiversity, and mental wellbeing is transformative. Noteworthy accomplishments involve crafting impactful e-learning solutions on disability inclusion, fostering partnerships with external organizations, and celebrating the moments that matter like Rare Disease Day, Disability Pride Month, and International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Sanofi's digital advancements empower me. O365 reads documents aloud, Zoom bridges distances, and videos eliminate the need to read. It's a game-changer!
