Being part of the bigger picture means recognising that our actions and decisions are interconnected with the world around us. A connection that spans across cultures, continents, and generations. By recognising this sense of belonging, we can strive to contribute to something larger than ourselves. To navigate these ideals, we've structured our site into five pivotal sections: Earth, People, Direction, Compliance and Printmasters—each offering a window into the different aspects of our collective impact.

Earth

In a world where every choice affects the environment, making thoughtful decisions is crucial. At Vinga, we're transparent about CO2 emissions since 2023. Using Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), we help customers pick lower-impact options by considering every stage of a product's life. Our LCAs, certified by ISO14067 and verified by Bureau Veritas, ensure accuracy and accountability. With goals to cut emissions by 40% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality, we're dedicated to positive change. Additionally, through our support to the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation we become part of the solution to one of our time's greatest challenges - preserving our planet for future generations.
