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.

Sanofi, a global care-oriented Corporate focused on employees and partners’ needs

Through the definition and the implementation of the Sustainable Building Charter, the Sanofi Group wants to promote efficient working

conditions and a pleasant working environment, in order to take part in our employees’ health and wellbeing. This approach, which

conveys the values and ethics of the Group, answers to the sustainable development stakes and aims at attracting the brightest

world-wide in the long term.

Finally, the Sustainable Building ambition helps to contribute to the human community and the planet resilience – as much as possible.

A Charter which is applicable to all of the Group’s administrative buildings

The Sanofi Group, operating in nearly 100 countries, makes up a community of more than 110,000 employees who are in contact with

patients, researchers, public and private partners, health authorities, NGOs, and so on.

We have administrative sites in all of the countries where the group is present. More than a quarter of Sanofi employees work at these

facilities, which cover administrative support, commercial activities, and conference centers – among other.

The Group’s sites are important conveyors of our image and our values of innovation, ethics,

appreciation for our employees, and respect for the environment.

Decisions related to real estate are in line with Sanofi’s CSR policy and contribute

to reaching our objectives in the areas

of

Ethics (“Human Rights in the Supply Chain”),

the

Planet (“Energy and Carbon Footprint”, “Water Management”)

and

People (“Health and Safety in the Workplace”, “Diversity”).

(7)

Six technical booklets accompany the Charter, setting out the challenges, objectives, and processes for implementing it. Each situation

depends on the type of property management conducted by Sanofi’s internal teams in central positions, the local contacts, partners,

real-estate consultants, property managers, and technical management providers at our buildings…:

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

This document constitutes the main body of the Charter, which seeks to support all those involved in Sanofi property management in the

implementation of

21 commitments.

For the construction or major renovation of a building under a new lease (technical booklet no. 1)

For minor renovation of existing fit-out under a current lease

(technical booklet no. 4)

When taking out a new lease on a building already built

When operating and using a building (technical booklet no. 5)

The scope of the Charter encompasses all of the

Group’s administrative buildings throughout the world.

The

technical booklets associated with the Charter are an itemization of the Charter’s 21 commitments in the form

of

operational actions that depend on the real-estate situations encountered by Sanofi’s internal and external teams:

In addition, to take into account the variety of regulatory contexts and encountered practices, our Charter and its technical booklets

have been designed to enable different approaches that still respect the following

principles:

• Respecting the regulations of the

country where a site is located • Seeking higher levels than regulations require for Sanofi’s prio-rity commitments, in particular as regards comfort and health

• use the specifications of

internationally recognized environmental building certifications

• Have common objectives

and performance levels across the whole Group

construction or major renovation of a building under a new lease

minor renovation of existing fit-out under current lease

Each of these specific situations mobilizes various players at Sanofi and its partners. The implementation of the Charter therefore

requires identifying the organizations and people who will be involved at different stages of an operation so that they can be kept

informed of the commitments that it contains.

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.

Technical booklet no. 1 (46 actions): construction or major renovation of a building under a new lease

Technical booklet no. 2 (40 actions): taking out a new lease on a building already built

Technical booklet no. 3 (36 actions): renewing an existing lease

Technical booklet no. 4 (27 actions): minor renovation of existing fit-out under current lease 42 % 50% 70% 82% 2014-2015 2016 55 % 2017 2018 2019 82 % 87% 2014-2015 2014-2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2020 2020 2020 100 % 75 % 95% 70 % 80% 87% 93% 2016 2017 2018 2019 60 % 45 % 50% 75% 85% 2014-2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 60 %

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.

(17)

reCOgNItION

The SustainableBuilding@Sanofi Charter is based on standards that are internationally recognized through environmental certifications.

There are three levels of commitment depending on the situation encountered:

• Respect for prerequisites in all situations

• Implementation of an improvement process over a 5-year period

• Obtaining environmental certification: mandatory in the case of newly constructed turnkey buildings, desired for new leases,

recommended in other situations, relying on the main environmental rating systems
