Charles Tollet, Head of Cooperation for Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, General Medicines Business Unit, Sanofi, spoke on the organization's sustainability direction: 'At Sanofi, we believe true business success must grow hand-in-hand with creating sustainability for society and the environment. Our ability to sustain social projects in Thailand for so long is because we see the healthcare ecosystem holistically. We not only strive to deliver equitable and effective treatment access to patients but also prioritize building preventive health awareness in communities. These commitments reflect our overall vision to drive Thai society forward to progress, strength, and sustainable growth together.'

Wansiri Chuenjitkulthaworn, Country Operations Lead, Vaccines Business Unit, Sanofi Thailand, expressed pride on behalf of the organization: 'The AmCham CSI Gold Award, which we have been trusted to receive for seven consecutive years, is the highest pride for Sanofi's executives and all employees.
