When large retailers began requesting detailed sustainability data, sauce company Mayoneur found itself unsure where to start. As a small, agile team without its own production, the key figures were not easily accessible. Working it out alone was too complex, and consultancy services were too expensive. That was when Eevery stepped in, bringing clarity and making reporting straightforward with the VSME Standard.
About Mayoneur
Mayoneur began seven years ago as a student graduation project and has since grown into an innovative sauce brand, now stocked by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS. “Our goal is simple,” says co-owner Dion Storm. “We want to make sauces that are tasty, surprising and forward thinking, not a niche vegan product but something everyone can enjoy.”
With their small, fast-moving team, Mayoneur quickly rolls out new flavours like Crispy Chili Mayo and Cajun Spice, earning a reputation as the innovation engine of the sauce aisle. Sustainability is built into every product: all their mayos are egg-free, contain less oil and fewer calories, and use citrus fibres from orange peels to cut waste and remove artificial additives. This inventive approach even won the Horecava Innovation Award.
They also invest in tree-planting projects and are constantly exploring new waste streams to utilise in future recipes.
Yet one challenge remained. Proving their sustainable approach to major retailers.
The challenge
When Albert Heijn and other supermarkets began requesting detailed data on emissions and energy use, Mayoneur hit a wall.
“We outsource production and don’t have those numbers readily available,” explains Dion. “Figuring it out ourselves was too complicated, and most consultants were simply too expensive.”
Working with Eevery
That’s where Eevery came in. Not heavy consultancy, but practical help and clear tools.
“Michiel and Ivo came to our office, went through everything with us, and guided us step by step through completing the reports. Retailers use various sustainability terms that we may not be familiar with, but they translate them directly into what they mean for us. That gave us confidence we were doing it right,” says Dion.
With Eevery’s support, Mayoneur was able to:
- Gain clear insight into their CO₂ emissions (scope 1 and 2)
- Report easily using the VSME Standard for retailers like Albert Heijn
- Use practical tools and ongoing support to stay on top of everything
“For a small team like ours, that support is extremely valuable,” Dion adds. “Now we have someone we can always call; it saves huge amounts of time and hassle.”
Ready for the future
With the basics in place, Mayoneur is now working step by step on scope 3 emissions and preparing for future retail requirements. They’re also considering a broader ESG assessment to keep improving their performance.
“Now we can stay focused on what we do best, creating great flavours and innovating, while feeling confident that our sustainability is solid,” says Dion. “That builds trust with customers and retailers.”
