This recognition reflects Sanofi’s long-term commitment to promoting Saudi jobs, strengthening leadership representation, and building future-ready local capacity across its operations in Saudi Arabia.

Promoting sustainable localization and human resource development
The Nationalization Award recognizes organizations based on measurable impact and sustainability, with criteria covering Saudi Arabia’s employment rates, domestic talent retention, women’s empowerment, implementation of flexible remote work models, and employee experience metrics.

Sanofi’s approach to localization goes beyond compliance and focuses on creating meaningful career paths, developing leadership capabilities, and fostering an inclusive and engaging work environment.

Strong alignment with Vision 2030 priorities
Sanofi’s localization strategy is closely aligned with Vision 2030’s nationalization objectives and contributes to the development of a skilled Saudi workforce that supports the Saudi healthcare ecosystem and long-term economic growth.

This achievement was driven by strong cross-functional collaboration between teams and reflects a shared commitment to developing the country’s talent and sustainable impact.

Preity Futonani, Sanofi’s Greater Gulf MCO Lead and General Manager, Specialty Care, said: “This recognition reflects years of intensive efforts to build a sustainable Saudi talent pipeline and an inclusive employee experience in line with Vision 2030. This is a testament to the clarity, discipline and collaboration of our team and reinforces our belief that nationalization is a strategic path to long-term impact.”

The award was formally presented at a ceremony held by the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development. Ahmed bin Suleiman Al Rajhi held on the sidelines of the International Labor Market Conference.
