 Articles of Association. Rules relating to the composition of the Board and its Committees Each year, the Board of Directors conducts a review to ensure that there is an appropriate balance in its composition and in the composition of its Committees. In particular, the Board seeks gender balance and a broad diversity of competencies, experiences, nationalities and ages, reflecting our status as a diversified global business. The Board investigates and evaluates not only potential candidates, but also whether existing directors should seek reappointment. Above all, the Board seeks directors who show independence of mind and are competent, dedicated and committed, with compatible and complementary personalities. Acting on proposals from the Chief Executive Officer and in liaison with the Appointments, Governance and CSR Committee, the Board sets objectives for gender representation in Sanofi’s executive bodies, and more generally to apply that an inclusion (non- discrimination) and diversity policy within the Company. That policy of diversity, fairness and inclusion is included in our Play to Win strategy. As of December 31, 2024 , 31% of our 13 Executive Committee members were women, and 61% were non-French nationals. The Board of Directors is also kept informed, in particular on the occasion of its annual discussion on its equal opportunity and equal pay policy, on how Sanofi’s inclusion and diversity policy is cascaded down to “Senior Leaders” and “Executives” (the positions in Sanofi with the highest level of responsibility). Competencies of Board members The Board of Directors, in liaison with the Appointments, Governance and CSR Committee, must ensure that the composition of the Board is balanced, diverse and fit for purpose. In assessing its composition, the Board takes account of the new challenges facing Sanofi and our corporate strategy, and determines whether the qualities and skills of serving directors are sufficient for the Board to deliver on its remit. In recent years, the Board has adapted its composition by bringing additional scientific expertise onto the Board and maintaining the level of other key competencies, especially in finance and accounting.
