We are thrilled to announce that Roquette has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for 2025, with an outstanding score of 75/100! This remarkable accomplishment marks our best performance to date and places us in the top 5% of all rated companies.

Our Significant Progress Since 2023

Thanks to the efforts put in place to strengthen our sustainable development strategy under the life+Nature program created in 2023, we have achieved this outstanding result after having progressed significantly over the last few years.This is particularly significant at a time when the EcoVadis assessment criteria have also evolved to meet the growing demands for sustainability and social responsibility. With more stringent evaluations, companies are now required to demonstrate more rigorous and transparent practices in all areas, with a specific focus on concrete and measurable actions.

Progress Highlights

Diving into the details, we can underline the significant advancements and initiatives we have implemented to change our game:

  • Labor & Human Rights: We have improved our score in this category by initiating impactful actions around health, safety, diversity, and well-being in our industrial sites. All of them have undertaken an ISO 45001 certification process (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) that provides endorsement and credibility to our initiatives.
  • Environment: This is a key topic for Roquette. With an improvement in this category, we continue to pursue our objectives in terms of CO2 reduction, water and waste management, biodiversity, and product sustainability. Thanks to major initiatives such as the construction of biomass boilers, water management plans, biodiversity preservation programs, and ISO (14001 and 50001) certifications processes, we will continue to make progress in the years ahead.
  • Sustainable Procurement: We have significantly strengthened our requirements for assessing our suppliers and ensuring their adoption of our Supplier Code of Conduct.
  • Ethics: We also made progress on Ethics with SAI certification, audits, risk assessments, actions, and training sessions on anti-corruption and fraud.

A Collective Achievement

Our sustainability journey continues, and it is a long one. This achievement is everyone’s achievement. It is a testament to the significant effort made by our teams and to the collaboration across various functions at Roquette.
