Vega Insiders
“Trajecta Carbon’s expertise in both the food sector and the world of sustainability was instrumental in helping Vega Insiders to meet customer demands, build a usable emission management system, and create a realistic decarbonisation plan. They created the strategy, guided us through the process and quickly delivered upon all requirements”.
The challenge
Vega Insiders is a Netherlands based producer of plant-based protein and vegan products for large brands and retailers. In 2025 they were acquired by Plukon Food Group. Vega Insiders offers customers consistent, high-quality vegan products but lacked sustainability foundations. Due to rising intrinsic and customer ,demands Vega Insiders needed to understand their footprint as well as put in place scientifically sound plans to manage their environmental impact. Customers required both business level and product level carbon footprints, and Vega Insiders wanted to create an internal environmental management system to deliver upon these demands and have a framework to work from on looking toward the future. Meeting these demands and creating this emission management system was key to strengthen the relationship with major customers and face the market with a sustainable and realistic system.
What did Trajecta do and what were the results?
Our team took an integrated three-tiered approach to establish a foundation for compliant, long-term sustainability.
First, we developed a robust carbon data framework that is designed to meet both current demands and simplify future data provision. Next, we looked more deeply at a selection of Vega Insiders’ products to calculate their product carbon footprints. This analysis identified several opportunities to reduce emissions across both manufacturing and the supply chain.
