The multinational pharmaceutical corporation Sanofi has launched its new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Board, the first of its kind in the pharma industry to feature outside advisors. The new board members include John Amaechi, author and founder of APS Intelligence, Dr. Rohini Anand, former senior VP of corporate responsibility and global chief diversity officer at Sodexo, Caroline Casey, president of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

According to Fleur Jeffries of PM Live, “The new Board will oversee Sanofi’s DE&I strategy and ensure it is executed correctly, help the company work towards its 2025 targets and providing best advice on how the company can make a positive impact. The company is also launching a global Employee Resource Group (ERG) framework and five worldwide-focused ERGs: Gender+, Generations+, Pride+, Ability+ and Culture and Origins+, which will enable existing local ERGs to expand and develop. ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that help create a diverse and inclusive workplace.”
