LINK in motion TOWARDS AN ADAPTATION STRATEGY n parallel with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, VIVESCIA is working on the fundamental challenge of adapting to the existing impact of climate change, the second pillar of the Group’s climate I strategy. A first assessment has been carried out on the impact that climate change will have on crops in the Cooperative’s territory (north-east France) between 2030 and 2050, based on the IPCC’s scenarios. In order to take into account local disparities in soil and climate within the Cooperative region, 18 different zones were mapped. The study aims to understand and measure the impact of changes to three crucial factors (temperatures, rainfall, and sunlight) on 15 different crops. VIVESCIA’s agronomy teams are working to implement these roadmaps with Cooperative members. Other assessments are underway to determine the impact of climate change on the Group’s processing subsidiaries. We are ramping up our Connected weather stations provide precise, parcel-level data on rainfall, temperature, humidity, and dew point for maximum “Projection 2030-2050” project accuracy. related to climate-related issues. The weather and the climate are decisive for a successful harvest. Our ambition is to anticipate To be able to adapt, you need to be able what the climate will be like in to measure and quantify changes and years to come in different regions their impact in order to understand where VIVESCIA operates. why and how we can enact change.
