Sanofi is boosting its social role through a more inclusive company

The pharmaceutical company is strongly committed to giving everyone a chance by promoting recruitment methods that encourage diversity.

Operating at 34 sites throughout France, Sanofi was one of the first companies to join the PAQTE¹ initiative, whose goal is to improve the economic inclusion of priority urban neighborhoods.

In addition to taking on trainees, HR departments also focus on work-study programmes, an effective and appealing path to joining the workforce. The goal is to reach 6% of total employees by 2020.

An initial campaign was launched in partnership with Mozaik RH and its "diversify your talents" platform.

To successfully integrate into society, the work-study community has five tools at its disposal, grouped under the "Starting Blocks for Youth" scheme.

Every employee and manager must take the "Challenge your bias" training course, which focuses on behaviours to be aware of and how to neutralise discrimination-related prejudices.

This strategy, which is fully in line with Sanofi's CSR policy, contributed to the company's recognition as a "Global Top Employer 2019" for its HR best practices.
