A Million Conversations: Two Years of Building Trust in Healthcare
Too many people continue to face barriers in healthcare based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. But for two years, Sanofi’s A Million Conversations (AMC) initiative has been working to help rebuild trust in healthcare systems.
Over the past two years, our initiative A Million Conversations has sparked a global dialogue on inclusivity and trust in healthcare. Alongside the collective voices of under-supported communities, we've started to break down the barriers that prevent people from receiving the care they deserve.
So far, more than 35,000 people have shared their healthcare experiences through our extensive polling. These invaluable insights have been joined by a series of local activities in countries such as: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Germany, Mexico, Spain, and the UK.
Key Achievements in the First Two Years
65 dialogue events with 12,000 participants
A new generation of healthcare leaders
Global expertise
Diverse clinical trials
Award Winning Impact
We were honored that A Million Conversations earned the recognition of eight awards in 2024. These achievements reflect the efforts of Sanofian’s, our partners and everyone who has helped to drive this initiative and amplify conversations about health equity. The awards include:
- Reuters Sustainability Awards: Stakeholder Engagement Winner
- Personnel Today Awards: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Winner
- The Drum Social Purpose Awards: Data and Insights Silver
- Anthem Awards: Brand Campaign Gold, Special Projects Silver, Global Awareness Campaign Silver, Community Voice
- Global Good Awards: Community Partnership One to Watch
These awards are not just an important recognition for the initiative - they are an opportunity to raise awareness of the inequities in healthcare and the need to take action alongside under-supported communities. They are also an important acknowledgment of anyone who has ever felt unrepresented or unheard in healthcare.
I want to express my gratitude to all the Sanofians who have championed our initiative A Million Conversations around the world, to everyone who has participated in our dialogue events, to our dedicated NextGen Scholars, and to the partner organizations who have been part of this journey. We hope these award wins inspire others to join us in creating a more inclusive healthcare system.

So, What’s Next?
Our journey doesn’t stop here. With €50 million invested until 2030, we are expanding our efforts to create a world where healthcare truly works for everyone. It is a journey that requires the commitment of healthcare providers, activists, patients, governments, and businesses to create inclusive systems built on trust.
To achieve a healthcare system that works for all, we must continue to collaborate, share knowledge, and take action. Every conversation, every voice, and every commitment matters. The change starts with all of us.
