Code of Ethics

Cover of the Code of Ethics of sanofi-aventis

The sanofi-aventis Code of Ethics defines corporate principles and individual behavioral rules.  

Communicating and understanding the Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics is posted on both the sanofi-aventis Intranet as well as the corporate Internet site.

It was distributed to all Group employees. Five versions were printed (French, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese) and made available to the subsidiaries. In addition, 18 countries translated the Code into their local language. Collectively, more than 90% of the subsidiaries, corresponding to over 95% of the total workforce, distributed versions of the Code in their local language.

Seventy-two percent of the subsidiaries required their employees to sign a receipt acknowledging that they had received the Code.  

Organizing the network to ensure compliance with the Code of Ethics

The aim of the relationships illustrated in the diagram and validated by the Ethics Committee is to take into account the geographic scope as well as criteria related to the major Group functions. Within this framework, each affiliate has the flexibility to adapt its actions in accordance with the way its entity’s functions are organized.
