PLAY TO WIN - BEHAVIOURS

Play to Win is our corporate strategy, a concept that aligns our way of working and shows us a clearer vision when it comes to achieving objectives and is based on four behaviors:

Do my best: I constantly look for ways to apply learning and drive improvement and try new things by taking calculated risks.

Take the initiative: I focus on what is important now, and on following up on what can be improved by prioritizing results over activity.

Acting in the interest of patients & clients: I always look out for what is best for our patients and clients in any solution I work on

Put Sanofi first: I look for what's best for Sanofi instead of what's best for me or my team and help everyone succeed.
