Sanofi
Barcelona

The renowned French pharmaceutical Sanofi has opened the doors of its new headquarters in Spain, located in the emblematic Torre Meridian building in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. With 800 employees, this headquarters not only houses the teams of the Spanish subsidiary, but has also become the home of the Global Innovation Center (GIC), a global digital hub established in Barcelona in 2016.

The new building is a reflection of the innovation and excellence that characterize Sanofi. From its architectural design to its interior design, every detail has been carefully thought out to facilitate collaboration, creativity, and efficiency.

One of the most outstanding aspects of the new headquarters is its commitment to sustainability and acoustic comfort, exemplified by the incorporation of acoustic panels recycled from ECOcero plastic bottles. These panels, custom designed for the space, have been installed with the aim of providing an optimal work environment for employees of Sanofi.

ECOcero's acoustic panels not only offer a considerable improvement in sound quality, minimizing ambient noise and favoring concentration and productivity, but also represent Sanofi's commitment to environmental responsibility. Made from recycled plastic bottles, these panels are a testament to the potential of sustainable design and its ability to transform waste into innovative and aesthetically pleasing solutions.

In addition to their functionality, ECOcero acoustic panels add a touch of sophistication and modernity to office design. Its aesthetic integrates perfectly with the contemporary style of the space, complementing its palette of colors and textures and providing an additional dimension to the work environment.
