Culture is Local
Our 90,000 employees operate in 65 countries and many more cultures, united by purpose and common ambition. When we reflect the diversity of our communities, we can foster creativity and innovation, pursue progress, and discover extraordinary.
In 2022 we operationalized a global DE&I strategy that was co-created with and for people across Sanofi. Co-creation is essential, as increasing diversity is a global aspiration with local solutions.
Representation means different things depending on where you are, and the way we measure demographics varies widely between countries. That’s why each of our top 10 markets has a fully operational DE&I plan to take action locally to increase the percentage of under-represented people in their workforce year on year. In 2022, 45 of 65 countries asked at least one demographic question on our annual employee engagement survey, supporting a data-driven approach to improving DE&I globally.
In 2022 our teams leveraged DE&I to compete across diverse markets, understand our customers, and reflect the patients we serve. Here are just a few examples of the strides being taken by teams across the Sanofi world.
