KLOSTER KITCHEN SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 - BETTER THAN GOOD!

Sustainability is important to us at Kloster Kitchen much more than just a buzzword - it is part of our DNA. With our first Sustainability Report 2024, we want to show transparently how we assume ecological, social and economic responsibility. Our motto is: Better than good - we want to be more than "just good".

The three pillars of our sustainability strategy

1. ecological sustainability

Wherever possible, our products are certified organic - from ginger shots to juice cures. This ensures that cultivation and processing follow strict environmental standards.

This is particularly important to us:

  1. Avoid plastic: Almost all packaging is made of paper and cardboard. We offset unavoidable plastic via CleanHub, which collects plastic waste in coastal regions.

  2. save CO₂: Shipping takes place via DHL GoGreen, and we also consistently use recycled paper.

  3. Partnerships for the planet: Since 2024, we have been supporting the TUI Forest Peru project with the TUI Care Foundation to promote reforestation in the regions of our raw material suppliers.

👉 Result: In 2024 alone, our measures kept 3,010 kilos of plastic out of the sea and €4,420 was donated to TUI Care Peru.

Less plastic waste in the sea with CleanHub!

 

2. social sustainability

For us, sustainability also means social responsibility:

  1. Since 2019, we have been working with Lebenshilfen in Bamberg, southern Thuringia and Carisma Gebrauchtwaren to offer people with disabilities fair jobs.

  2. We create a healthy working environment for our team - from sports activities to e-bike leasing.

  3. The result: high employee satisfaction and a family atmosphere with currently 57 dedicated colleagues.

3. economic sustainability

A sustainable company result is the basis for achieving a lasting impact:

  1. Over 64 million portions sold since the company was founded demonstrate our growing market presence.

  2. With new product lines such as smoothies and organic juice cures, we are going beyond ginger shots and accompanying our customers on the path to a more conscious lifestyle.

  3. Our claim: Combining quality, innovation and responsibility.

Our CO₂ Report 2023

We have evaluated our emissions transparently for the first time:

  1. Scope 1 (direct emissions): 139.95 t CO₂e

  2. Scope 2 (energy consumption): 10.33 t CO₂e

  3. Scope 3 (supply chain & transportation): 901.33 t CO₂e

Upstream products (52%) and transportation (12%) are particularly significant. We are focusing our future reduction strategies on this.

We also focus on sustainability in the warehouse.

Customers help shape sustainability

Our 2024 customer survey with around 2,800 participants has shown that

  1. For 82.5%, sustainability is "important" or "very important".

  2. 70 % attach great importance to organic food.

  3. Our planned orchard meadow project is the most popular (55% approval).

The feedback flows directly into our Sustainability Roadmap 2025.


Outlook: Our long-term goals

Sustainability is a journey - and we have big plans:

  1. Materiality analysis with all stakeholders

  2. Implementation of the orchard meadow project

  3. Development of a clear CO₂ avoidance & reduction strategy

  4. Expansion of our Sustainability Advisory Board

  5. Digitization and more paperless processes


Conclusion: Sustainability with heart and responsibility

Our first sustainability report shows: We take responsibility - for the environment, society and our employees. But our journey is far from over. Step by step, we are working to become even more sustainable.
