Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of Sanofi’s core business strategy. By building a pragmatic and innovative approach to meet today’s CSR challenges, it contributes to value creation and improving our business.
The Corporate Social Responsibility department, in coordination with the Investor Relations department, is in charge of the information analyzed by socially responsible investors and rating agencies which assess companies according to social, environmental, economic and governance criteria.
