It’s not only about protecting our planet
It’s about protecting life
Planet Mobilization is our global effort to minimize the environmental impact of our business through environmental sustainability. It covers the entire life cycle of the products, from the raw materials used to make them to their use and disposal by our patients.
Ahead of the UN climate change conference, the COP26 this November, we’ve joined the Race to Zero initiative, a global commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Targeting our Global Suppliers with ENERGIZE
We’re uniting with nine global pharmaceutical companies to help our shared supply chains adopt 100% renewable electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing global warming is not something any of us can do on our own. The ENERGIZE program members-AstraZeneca, Biogen, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, NovoNordisk, Pfizer and Takeda-will support suppliers reduce Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., the electricity we buy, which in turn will reduce our Scope 3 emissions, those that occur throughout the value chain such as transportation and distribution.

We’re pursuing these three goals:
Climate change is one, if not the greatest, challenge of our age
It has an enormous impact on our lives and health. The rise in the earth’s temperature can lead to extreme weather conditions, food shortages, difficulties in accessing drinking water and increased air pollution, as well as creating favorable conditions for the spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria or increasing pollen-related allergies.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that between 2030 and 2050 climate change will cause an estimated 250,000 additional deaths each year. To limit the consequences of global warming, the United Nations presents carbon neutrality as the solution to counterbalance the buildup of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere.
Here's how we're measuring our progress
Taking urgent action on climate change and water stewardship is one of our priorities. That’s why we’re proud to be recognized on @CDP’s Climate and Water A Lists for our leadership, our continued transparency, and our action for a healthy planet. As an ‘A List’ company, we’re leading the transition to a net-zero, nature-positive and equitable world.

CDP 2020 Ratings
Sanofi gained a place on the CDP’s prestigious “A List” for its role in protecting water resources. It also obtained an A- for its reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reaffirming its position in the leadership group of companies evaluated.
Committed to 100% Renewable Electricity
Sanofi joined the RE100 initiative to source 100% renewable electricity across all its global operations by 2030
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In June 2020, Sanofi received approval from the “Science Based Targets initiative” (SBTi) for setting science-based targets to reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Sanofi pioneers sustainable finance in the pharmaceutical industry
Committed to 100% Renewable Electricity

* Carbon neutrality is achieved when company emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are balanced by reduction or avoidance elsewhere over a specified period. We have increased our ambition to achieve carbon neutrality 20 years earlier than our previous 2015 commitment, made after the COP21 and Paris Agreement. We have also widened this ambition to our whole value chain (scopes 1, 2 and 3).
