SUSTAINABILITY

 

Chrissy’s Kitchen is dedicated to providing environmentally conscious catering services. We are acutely aware of the impact our services have on people and the planet and are committed to implementing measures that mitigate this impact. Please read on to hear about the current steps we are taking towards sustainability.

As a dedicated catering company, we recognise our limitations but are committed to continuous improvement. Annually, we will review and enhance our actions. The support we receive from our clients and partners directly influences our capacity to invest more in our sustainability goals.

CARBON EMISSIONS REPORTING

To reduce our carbon footprint, our ingredients are sourced from local and independent suppliers. We serve seasonal menus and plant-based alternatives to cut down on the miles our food has to travel to reach your table.

Our daily Corporate Lunches are delivered by an independent electric cargo bike courier, which supports another small independent business and allows your lunch to arrive emission free.

For clients interested in understanding the carbon footprint of their orders, we offer a detailed carbon emissions report. This service, available for an additional fee, uses a standard method to calculate the emissions associated with your menu choices.

Please request this service when placing your order.

FOOD WASTE

Our Circular Canapés utilise ingredients that would otherwise be wasted. Unused food is composted in partnership with Wandsworth Council.
