Sanofi has delivered genuine absolute emission reductions (47% Scope 1&2, 10% Scope 3 vs 2019) and SBTi-validated net-zero targets to 2045. Weaknesses: Scope 3 progress lags operations; biodiversity gains are not yet net-positive; recurring pollution incidents at Mourenx plant; misaligned trade association memberships undermine climate credibility.

Sanofi scores 50/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places Sanofi joint 149th of 847 companies scored, and joint 4th of 19 in Healthcare / Pharmaceuticals.
