Sanofi

A French pharmaceutical giant that makes the medicines and vaccines people take every day, from the long-acting insulin Lantus and Toujeo to flu shots like Fluzone and the infant RSV vaccine Beyfortus. It began in 1973 when the state oil company Elf Aquitaine decided to pour some of its oil profits into healthcare, snapping up scattered labs under the "Sanofi" banner. That oil-to-medicine origin makes Sanofi one of the few drugmakers in the world whose roots run to a petroleum company, later growing into a global player through big mergers with Aventis and Genzyme.
