Benefits of Trademarks for business
Stand out from competitors in the plant-based market with Vegetarian Society Approved trademarks.
The Vegetarian Society Approved trademarks are symbols you will see on thousands of products in shops all over the UK, EU, USA and many other countries.
Our trademarks encourage consumers to choose your products when they are shopping. 82% of shoppers (YouGov UK Plc 3/23) would prefer to see our accreditation symbol on product packaging, rather than reading through an ingredient list.
Our trademarks aren’t just for food products. Whether you manufacture clothes, cosmetics, medicines or household items, if what you sell is suitable for plant-based customers, chances are you can add one of our trademarks, giving your business a boost!
