KLOSTER KITCHEN SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024 – BETTER THAN GOOD!

For us at Kloster Kitchen, sustainability is much more than a buzzword – it's part of our DNA. With our first Sustainability Report 2024, we want to transparently show 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

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

Particularly important to us:

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

  2. Saving CO₂: Shipping is done via DHL GoGreen, and we consistently use recycled paper.

  3. Partnerships for the planet: Since 2024, we have supported 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 prevented 3,010 kilograms of plastic from entering the ocean and generated €4,420 in donations for TUI Care Peru.

Less plastic waste in the ocean with CleanHub!

 

2. Social Sustainability

For us, sustainability also means social responsibility:

  1. Since 2019, we have been working with Lebenshilfen in Bamberg, Südthüringen, and Carisma Gebrauchtwaren, offering fair employment to people with disabilities.

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

  3. Result: High employee satisfaction and a familiar atmosphere with currently 57 dedicated colleagues.

3. Economic Sustainability

A sustainable business result is the basis for achieving lasting impact:

  1. Over 64 million portions sold since founding demonstrate our growing market presence.

  2. With new product lines like smoothies and organic juice cleanses, we go beyond ginger shots and accompany our customers on their journey to a more conscious lifestyle.

  3. Our aspiration: to combine quality, innovation, and responsibility.

Our 2023 CO₂ Report

For the first time, we have transparently evaluated our emissions:

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

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

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

Pre-products (52%) and transport (12%) are particularly significant. We align our future reduction strategies with these.

We also focus on sustainability in the warehouse.

Customers Help Shape Sustainability

Our 2024 customer survey with around 2,800 participants showed:

  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).

This feedback directly informs 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.
