Sanofi

Sanofi's reported carbon emissions

Sanofi, a research and development services company headquartered in France, has made significant commitments to address its carbon emissions and combat climate change. **Carbon Emissions Overview:** For the year 2025, Sanofi reported a total of approximately 4.45 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises: * **Scope 1 emissions:** Approximately 235 million kg CO2e. * **Scope 2 emissions:** Approximately 70 million kg CO2e (market-based). * **Scope 3 emissions:** Approximately 3.44 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contributions coming from purchased goods and services (approximately 2.39 billion kg CO2e). In 2024, Sanofi's total emissions were approximately 4.66 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at roughly 299 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 76 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 3.50 billion kg CO2e, heavily influenced by purchased goods and services (approximately 2.66 billion kg CO2e). Previous years' data also shows significant emissions, with 2023 reporting approximately 4.80 billion kg CO2e in total emissions, Scope 1 at approximately 288 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) at around 83 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 3.79 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for roughly 2.69 billion kg CO2e. **Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:** Sanofi has established ambitious targets aligned with global climate goals: * **Net-Zero Commitment:** Sanofi is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2045, with an intermediate trajectory towards carbon neutrality by 2030. This overall net-zero target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). * **Scope 1 & 2 Emissions Reduction:** * Sanofi aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. This target has been validated by the SBTi as consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. * An earlier target was to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2025 from a 2019 base year. * **Scope 3 Emissions Reduction:** Sanofi has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. This reduction specifically targets categories including purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, and employee commuting. * **Renewable Electricity:** Sanofi aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 11% in 2019 to 80% by 2025 and 100% by 2030. Sanofi's commitments are underpinned by comprehensive reporting of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, demonstrating a commitment to transparency and environmental stewardship in the research and development services sector.
