Inclusion
Across every stage of our journey – from research and development to manufacturing and delivery – our inclusive culture shapes how we innovate, collaborate and deliver breakthrough science that responds to patients’ realities.
Inclusion doesn't just make better science, it makes science that matters. It's how we go from lab to real life and deliver science that doesn’t sit on a shelf but actually changes lives.
Melisande Kingchatchaval Schifter
Global Head of Inclusion
Our 2030 Vision: Belong. Beyond Boundaries.
We are building a Sanofi where our:
Patients
…see themselves in our clinical trials, feel understood in our communication and information, and can trust that we’re developing medicines and vaccines with their specific diverse need in mind. We're building fairness for all in healthcare.
People
…speak up without hesitation, collaborate freely with no artificial boundaries and silos, and know that their unique contributions is what drives our success. We're making inclusion everyone's business.
Places
…are state of the art. From accessible offices, labs and sites to inclusive digital tools that are easy to use for all to medicines and vaccines that are designed, packaged and dispensed keeping in mind the needs of real-world diverse patients. We’re setting a new standard for accessibility.
A Million Conversations: Rebuilding Trust in Healthcare
A Million Conversations is Sanofi’s flagship initiative on health justice. Backed by a €50m investment, we are working closely with under-supported communities and partner organizations to build trusted healthcare systems that treat everyone with dignity and respect.
Designing for Everyone: Accessibility as Innovation
For us, accessibility isn't an accommodation - it's a design principle that unlocks innovation for everyone. We embrace universal design as our methodology, recognizing that the full spectrum of human diversity drives the best solutions for all. From physical workplaces and digital platforms to medicine packaging and dispensing mechanisms, we design with intention: creating experiences that adapt to all bodies, anticipate diverse needs, and remove barriers before they exist.
Radical Accountability: The Industry’s First Inclusion Board
Our Global Inclusion Board is pharma's boldest governance experiment, bringing together three of the world's most influential independent voices on inclusion with our CEO, Executive Committee members, and employee leaders from across Sanofi. This isn't a symbolic advisory panel. It's a decision-making body to challenge us, hold us accountable, and accelerate our impact. By inviting external experts to sit at the table where strategy is shaped, we're ensuring our inclusion commitments are actionable, measurable, and driven by those who know what real impact looks like.
People-Powered Change: Where Employees Lead Inclusion
Our Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs) transform individual passion into collective impact. With over 100 local groups across five global communities (Gender+, Generations+, Pride+, Ability+, and Culture and Origins+), our EBRGs are strategic powerhouses where employees drive real change. They shape our workplace culture through lived experiences, spark innovation by connecting us to diverse markets and communities, build powerful networks that extend beyond our walls, and create pathways for talent to thrive.
