Our Initiative

“Each year sanofi-aventis U.S. & Sanofi-Pasteur engages in a Small Business Subcontracting Plan with the federal government and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We do this for a number of reasons, but here are the most important ones:

1. It’s one of the best ways to “walk the talk” when it comes to showing we’re a company that practices its Values - in this case, Respect for the resourcefulness of individuals regardless of their background or the size of companies they own.

2. We want to be able to support the economy of the local community for all of our major sites.”
