SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
At Kitts Kitchen Ltd (Trading as This Is Kitts) we believe that exceptional food and cultural experiences should never come at the expense of our environment.
Our sustainability approach is simple: create beautifully crafted events while making thoughtful, responsible choices at every step — from sourcing to service.
This commitment grows with us, and we continue to improve as we learn, collaborate and expand across the UK.
1. Responsible Sourcing
We prioritise ingredients that are:
-
Fresh and seasonal whenever possible
-
Local to the West Midlands to reduce transport emissions
-
Ethically sourced, including meat, fish and speciality items
-
Reusable or recyclable in packaging and storage
Our menus evolve with the seasons and supply availability to ensure minimal waste.
2. Waste Reduction
We take a mindful approach to waste at all events:
-
We prepare accurate quantities based on confirmed guest numbers
-
Leftovers are safely packaged for clients when appropriate
-
Recycling and food waste are separated at our kitchen base
-
Garnishes and décor are chosen with minimal waste in mind
-
Where possible, we encourage clients to return reusable items
Waste reduction is built into our planning, not added on top.
3. Reusable Equipment
To avoid single-use plastics, we invest in:
-
Reusable chafers
-
Stainless-steel serving equipment
-
Glassware (for events requiring full service)
-
Reusable platters and trays
-
Fabric table linens and napkins upon request
Clients can choose environmentally conscious options such as:
-
Non-disposable serving sets
-
Reusable crockery and cutlery
-
Plastic-free event styling
4. Energy & Transport
We manage our travel footprint carefully:
-
Free delivery within 5 miles
-
Tiered delivery fees to reduce unnecessary trips
-
Efficient routing for multi-stop bookings
-
Reduced kitchen energy use through batch preparation and scheduling
For large, UK-wide events, we work with venues to consolidate equipment and staff travel wherever possible.
5. Community & Culture
Sustainability to us is also cultural responsibility.
We support:
-
Caribbean and Black-owned suppliers where possible
-
Local Midlands businesses and creatives
-
Fair labour practices
-
Ethical partnerships
-
Cultural storytelling with respect and authenticity
Our experiences reflect the heritage of the Caribbean - with integrity and care.
6. Future Commitments
As we grow, we will continue to:
-
Expand our reusable equipment offering
-
Improve energy efficiency in our kitchen base
-
Strengthen partnerships with ethical suppliers
-
Increase recyclable and compostable material use
-
Review our sustainability practices yearly
Sustainability is a long-term commitment, not a checklist.
