Sanofi-aventis Code of Ethics

"As an international company that respects all cultures, sanofi-aventis draws on the diversity of its workforce and the very broad range of talents available. In this context, all our employees acknowledge that differences between employees, business partners, suppliers, and customers are considerable advantages that strengthen the Group's competitiveness and efficiency.

True open-mindedness and the absence of prejudices concerning other people's views or attitudes are a vital prerequisite for performing our work effectively.

Sanofi-aventis strives to provide a stimulating and creative working atmosphere and to establish relations based on trust with its workforce, its customers, its suppliers, the authorities, and everyone with whom sanofi-aventis comes into contact in the course of its activities.

All forms of discrimination for whatever cause or reason are therefore banned, as is all behavior that may compromise another person's dignity.

Sanofi-aventis ensures equal opportunities for all with respect to recruitment, training, remuneration, appointment, and professional development on the basis of personal skills and aptitudes."

The Group’s Social Charter also contains elements directly refering to Human Rights.
