Our Story
Why are we
‘your guide
to zero’?
Fair question.
Because there is a huge amount of work to be done and it needs to be done well. You are part of a world from which much is demanded but has a distinct DNA from other industries. We share that DNA.
Because we balance the line between the industry we serve and the industry we’re from. We have stood on the same types of farms on which you grow your produce, we have managed the same types of factories that you use to process and pack, and we have built business in the same countries with the same people you buy from and ship to.
Because after all, it was only after years of working in your industry first that we made the transition to sustainability. First, to learn how climate change really works, how sustainability science and policy really work, and how decarbonisation really works. Then it led us to managing teams and developing environmental commodities, renewable energy certificates and climate finance.
Because it was only after all this that we felt ready to go back to our old industry and branch out on our own. But now with enough experience and insight to make a real difference for you.
Because we have been on this journey, we are equipped to help you on yours. That is how Trajecta is your guide to zero.
