How Local Action Brings Sustainability Commitments to Life in Spain
Published September 28, 2026
Learn how Roquette in Benifaió, Spain, contributes to water conservation, biodiversity, and ecosystem restoration near the Albufera Natural Park.
At Roquette, sustainability is closely linked to our purpose: Together, we turn the potential of nature into the essentials of life. This purpose guides the way we source, transform and value natural resources while helping preserve them for future generations.
Through our global sustainability program, life+nature, and particularly its PRESERVE the planet platform, we are committed to protecting ecosystems and promoting the responsible use of natural resources. At our Benifaió site in Spain, this commitment comes to life through initiatives focused on two key priorities: water conservation and biodiversity protection.
Local initiatives at Roquette in Benifaió
Located near the Albufera Natural Park, the Benifaió site operates in a region where water is a strategic resource and natural ecosystems play an important environmental, social and economic role. In this context, Roquette collaborates with local organizations, such as the Limne Foundation and the Assut Foundation, to support projects that contribute to the conservation and restoration of ecosystems connected to water resources.
As Fernando Escandell, Environmental Manager at Roquette in Spain, said:
“Sustainability only becomes meaningful when global commitments are translated into tangible local actions.”
Water conservation is central to this approach. Responsible water management is important for any industry seeking to operate sustainably over the long term. Alongside continuous improvement efforts to increase process efficiency and strengthen water management and treatment, our Benifaió site supports initiatives that help protect the natural environments connected to this vital resource.
Biodiversity protection is the second major priority. Healthy ecosystems are essential for environmental resilience and for maintaining the balance of local territories. By supporting the restoration of habitats, the protection of species and the recovery of natural spaces, the Benifaió site contributes to both ecological value and the long-term resilience of the region.
Collaboration for long-term environmental impact
Addressing environmental challenges requires long-term commitment and collaboration between businesses, environmental organizations, public authorities and local communities.
"Protecting water resources and biodiversity is not only an environmental responsibility. It is also a way to help build a more resilient future for the generations to come," said Fernando Escandell.
Through partnerships and ongoing actions, the Benifaió site contributes to Roquette's broader sustainability goals while creating a positive impact at the local level.
