What success would you like to look back on?
Our purpose has been the same since we started back in 2015. Our mission is for a vegan to fill his or her supermarket basket in the same way as an omnivore does. Today, we can say we have succeeded.

How long has the Spanish V label existed? How many products and companies have been licensed to date?

What actions or projects do you have planned for the future? What are the most important goals of the Spanish V label?
We aim to be Spain’s leading vegan and vegetarian trademark and we work hard. We plan to integrate the cosmetics sector. This 2024, we plan to expand our clients to other sectors such as textiles and gastronomy. Additionally, we intend to increase visibility beyond the supermarket. We want to bring the label closer to the general public.

How do you assess the situation in Spain’s plant-based industry in general?Which development speaks?
After years of growth in the sector, we are beginning to enter a period of stability, Leading companies in the sector are entering the field of innovation and new technologies such as 3D printing. In addition to this stagnation, we need the plant-based industry to work for the long term over time. Several companies have seen the plant-based movement as a trend and as an economic opportunity, now that things are becoming more stable in the sector we have to make sure that there are still vegan options accessible to all.

Where can interested people meet in person (trade shows, congresses, events, road shows)?
Trade show, congress, vegan event or Vegfest! We make sure to be present in the key events in Spain so that both potential companies and people interested in the certification can approach us. Stay tuned to see what happens in 2024.
