Roquette group: elaboration of a tailored climate change adaptation plan with Axa Climate experts

The French Roquette group, specialized in plant-based ingredients, analysed the climate challenges facing its value chain in the medium and long term and has drawn up an adaptation plan in conjunction with Axa Climate, Axa's subsidiary dedicated to climate adaptation, it announced on 16/06/2025.

This plan includes optimised management of water resources to strengthen the industrial base in the face of the potential risk of drought, securing supplies of strategic raw materials and reducing critical logistical dependencies, as well as an appropriate climate governance structure to support strategic decisions.

Based on an assessment of production and storage sites, logistics routes and critical raw materials in the face of climate risks, Axa Climate carried out a diagnosis using two IPCC climate scenarios, projecting global warming of 2.7°C and 4.4°C respectively by 2100.

The main challenges identified include the intensification of droughts and heatwaves in certain key supply areas, as well as the worsening of extreme weather events - floods, storms, etc. - which could eventually…
