Pioneering sustainable healthcare
Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy.
We believe a better future depends on how we work together to responsibly nourish and care for people, animals, and the planet. Inspired by life and rooted in nature, we are committed to developing solutions to address some of the social and environmental challenges.
Our sustainability commitment and actions
In 2023, we launched our sustainability 2030 program, life+nature, aimed at renewing and strengthening our sustainable development approach by 2030.
Over the coming years, we are committed to decarbonizing our activities by reducing our direct and indirect emissions, making our product offerings more sustainable by systematically integrating eco-design, while continuing to place people at the heart of our strategy in terms of health, safety, well-being, ethics, and inclusion ‒ whether they are Roquette employees, suppliers, contractors, or local communities at our locations.
Our sustainability program is built around three engagement platforms: PRESERVE the planet, INVENT for the future, CARE for people.

Our portfolio of seaweed extracts allows us to solve our customers’ formulation challenges with high-quality and eco-friendly solutions.
Roquette partners with NGO Bellona to restore Norwegian seaweed forests
Roquette is proud to partner with Bellona, an environmental non-governmental organization, on the Norwegian Marine Restoration Project (NoMaRe) to restore the seaweed forest along the Norwegian coastline. The project aims to reduce worldwide emissions, create sustainable jobs and promote environmentally friendly products on a global scale. This collaboration is an example of how businesses, NGOs, research communities and governments can work together to champion sustainability.
Roquette is committed to doing more good and giving back to the communities in which we work and live. We look forward to contributing to research, restoration measures and awareness, to identify and promote environmentally sustainable solutions.
