SANOFI SustainableBuilding@Sanofi Our Charter

EDITORIAL While the reduction of the environmental footprint of our administrative sites energy consumption, greenhouse gases, water and waste is the cornerstone of our charter for administrative buildings, it is not the only ambition. Offering pleasant and efficient working conditions to contribute to the Group employees health and wellbeing, as well as conveying the Group values and ethics and tackling sustainable development challenges in the cities where we are located, here are the objectives of the SustainableBuilding@Sanofi Charter. Three objectives of excellence are the cornerstones of our Charter for responsible buildings at our administrative properties: Health and wellbeing: Providing employees and stakeholders with healthy and comfortable work spaces Environment: Limiting the environmental footprint of administrative sites Involvement in the city: Incorporating Sanofi s buildings into the sustainable development programs in the cities where we operate Technical booklets accompany the Charter to detail the quality levels that the Group wants to reach for various real estate operations, when taking a new lease, renewing a lease, renewing existing spaces or operating an existing building. We have chosen to gradually implement the Charter worldwide on our administrative buildings stock in order to reach our objectives by 2020, taking account of each country characteristics. But our work is only beginning: we will make this charter evolve altogether in order to take into account your feedback. We are thankful for your active participation.

SustainableBuilding@Sanofi Charter Context 3 EXCELLENCE OBJECTIVES A Charter applicable to existing and future administrative buildings Measuring PERFORMANCE IMPROVING Our Charter is gradually implemented over a 5-year period. Since each situation in the various regions and countries is specific in terms of local regulations, practices, and rental markets, the Charter therefore is flexible and adaptable in its implementation. The technical booklets help taking the characteristics of each situation into account. Hence, requirements levels are increasing from operating and using a building (technical booklet no. 5) to construction or renovation of a building under a new lease (technical booklet no. 1). Compliance to the credits is getting more and more compulsory through the years to aim at improving. Moreover, Sanofi Group wants to comply with important prerequisites during the first year. For other actions, every project and every site can chose the actions they want to focus on.
