Science Industrial Placement Reading 2024

At Sanofi Consumer Healthcare, we have one shared mission – we're building a healthier future by helping people, help themselves. We empower people to champion better self-care for themselves, their communities, and our planet, through our consumer-inspired, science-based products and solutions.

In order to do so, we strive to act as a force for good by integrating sustainability along our business and employees’ mission and operate responsibly from both a social and environmental point of view.

Everything we do is centred around people – our consumers, our customers, healthcare professionals, and our employees – across the world. We are on an exciting journey as we have created a fully standalone CHC Business Unit (separating the Business Unit from our Pharma company heritage, processes etc), to create an agile, consumer-centric and responsive organization to deliver our ambition: to become the best Fast Moving Consumer Health (FMCH) company in & for the world.

Sanofi’s Consumer Healthcare company is a standalone company as a separate legal entity but remains part of the Sanofi organisation.
