  • I removed the double link on L'Oreal, are you satisfied? - Jerryseinfeld 22:35, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • To clarify, please place external links such as SNY in External Links section.
  • Also, please do not make double link, such as Paris and France in History section. They have been linked in the introduction already.

Stockholders

The information provided about Stockholders is excellent! I'm just linking the common terms to their proper accounting terms. No intent to discredit the original contributor! --JM Robert 23:55, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

Vandalism?

This was pretty funny, 80.177.155.23 writes "Deleted "and Europe's #1 pharma company" - GSK is both European-headquartered and bigger both by revenues & market capitalisation" then JM Robert writes "Rv to JM Robert edit. Vandalism by 80.177.155.23". In reality the company is europe's 3rd largest, and the worlds ?th largest. - Jerryseinfeld 03:09, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

December, 2004 (revenue from fiscal year 2003)

  • Sanofi-Aventis
    • Revenue: 10118.00 M
    • Market cap: 55.65B
  • GlaxoSmithKline
    • Revenue: 38238.00 M
    • Market cap: 127.23B
  • AstraZeneca
    • Revenue: 18849.00 M
    • Market cap: 68.19B
  • Pfizer
    • Revenue: 45188.00 M
    • Market cap: 210.04B
    • "Perhaps it's counting only certain revenues". That sounds probable in that case. But what revenues? Just drugs? The "pharmaceutical companies" category has all the drug companies from both Major Drugs and Biotechnology & Drugs. In the Biotech category it's number two by market cap behind Amgen. - Jerryseinfeld 15:09, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I realize I'm joining in late here, but I can't figure out how Johnson & Johnson is smaller than Sanofi-Aventis. J&J is obviously a more spread out company, but according to the List of pharmaceutical companies page here at Wikipedia, pretty much all spending and revenues from their pharm. branch place them higher than Aventis, and obviously J&J is a far bigger company with all things considered. I don't know if this applies to other pharmaceutical companies, but still... in every form I can think of, this places Johnson & Johnson ahead of Sanofi-Aventis, along with Pfizer and GlaxoSmithkline. - David DIBattiste 04:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the header to call Sanofi-Aventis a company among the largest pharm companies in the world. All the data I see for this argument that supported placing them in a position is two years out of date or more, and I can find no information supporting them holding that position, if they ever did, now. I don't doubt that they are large, hence leaving in the statement, but the way it is worded now is much less contestable and much more likely to remain the case - which is probably important for an article that may not be read often such as this one.

Other Name

found this: Elf Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company that signed a joint-venture agreement with the Kodak unit in 1991. Elf Sanofi, a unit of Alf Aquitaine...[1]Gaviidae 17:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I.G. Farben Succession

I know that the company refers to the company's sucession to I.G. Farben, but I thinkt is of encyclopaedic information to note the war crimes that I.G. Farben commetted during the N.S.D.A.P. control of Germany, then linking to the main article of I.G. Farben, for the rest of the story of I.G. Farben.

Fair use rationale for Image:SanofiAventisLogo.gif

Image:SanofiAventisLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the company (trivia)

I'd like to point that the proper name of the company I work in is sanofi-aventis, without capitalisation.
This is something that most people do not know, even many of my fellow co-workers, and assume that, as names are usually capitalized, sanofi-aventis' name is also.
Sadly, I did not keep the communiqué in which the "sanofi-aventis" name was officially announced, so I cannot provide with the official reference.
Also, the name of the comany that merged with Aventis was Sanofi~Synthélabo. Notice the line separating the name in half: it is a curved line, not a striaght one. 

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.31.180.126 (talk) 13:50, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
sanofi-aventis is used uniformly across the group's website. I'm proposing the article be moved. Gr1st 14:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Denied. See WP:CAPS. Regards, ProhibitOnions (T) 20:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huntingdon Life Sciences

I would like to add another section and this is what I have so far:

"The company and its shareholders have been targeted by animal rights activists because it is a customer of the controversial animal-testing company, Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).[8] HLS has been the subject since 1999 of an international campaign by Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), ever since footage shot covertly by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which was shown on British television, showed staff punching, kicking, screaming and laughing at the animals in their care." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carniv (talk • contribs) 00:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marion institute content from 1984

per WP:BRD, am opening a thread. Vrac please propose some reasonable place to put this content. Right now it is is just hanging out there and doesn't fit anywhere. In my opinion, it is ancient history, is badly sourced, and has nothing to do with Sanofi, and we should just delete it. Since you wish to keep it, where do you think it should go - how do we tie it into the article we have? if other editors have thoughts, happy to hear. thanks. Jytdog (talk) 00:54, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend creating a "Controversies" section as is common practice with wikipedia company articles. It does have something to do with Sanofi because Sanofi has been sued for the contaminated blood distributed by its acquisitions: see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/04/world/middleeast/04aids.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0, http://kaiserhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/dr00043906/, http://www.presstv.com/detail/2014/02/01/348816/french-company-reveals-involvement-in-hiv-scandal-in-1980s/, etc... there is plenty of news about it out there, and it is surely notable. Vrac (talk) 01:12, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
please do so. that sounds ok to me. Jytdog (talk) 01:22, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you do it? Since you are so concerned... Vrac (talk) 01:30, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
would you please tell me what is the "Marion institute " exactly? Jytdog (talk) 02:16, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
i fixed it. that content was pure shit. Jytdog (talk) 02:59, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In USA an ad for your product is being shown depicting a “wolf in sheep’s camouflage” hiding the “flu”! Targeting this magnificent animal is cruel and ignorant. They are critically important to the balance of healthy wild animals. 

 Years of education and studies are beginning to dilute the long held misconceptions and now your ad can thrust these critically endangered animals back in the bullseye of ignorance and abuse.
 I implore your company to remove the wolf as a target.
