Gender gaps in society remain a major barrier worldwide, impeding social advancement and hampering economic growth. To address these gaps, Sanofi has launched an ambitious commitment to achieve equal representation of women and men among its senior leaders.
On top of its ambition to promote gender balanced teams and leadership in the workplace, it has also aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal to support women in health and science through education, entrepreneurship, and partnerships to improve women’s access to healthcare.
A global delegation of 25 associates, women and men, from Sanofi, took part in the Women's Forum Global Meeting (WF) in Paris, November, which this year called on everyone to take the lead for inclusion, to step up and take action to change the status quo and break down barriers for women.
