Our Sustainability Pillars & Goals

Minimizing Food Waste:

Target: Reduce food waste by 50% by 2026 through improved inventory management, portion control, and creative use of surplus ingredients. Actions: Partner with local food banks to donate excess food, implement composting for organic waste, and educate staff on waste reduction practices.

Sourcing Responsibly:

Target: By 2025, source 30% of our key ingredients (e.g., produce, spices) from local farmers and suppliers who prioritize sustainable practices.

Actions: Build strong relationships with local farmers, prioritize seasonal ingredients, and explore opportunities to support fair trade initiatives.

Energy Efficiency:

Target: Reduce energy consumption by 15% by 2027 through the use of energy-efficient appliances, lighting upgrades, and staff awareness programs.

Actions: Conduct an energy audit to identify areas for improvement, switch to LED lighting, and educate staff on energy-saving habits.

Supporting Our Community:

Target: Increase our involvement in community initiatives by 2025 by partnering with local organizations and hosting events that promote cultural exchange and food education.

Actions: Sponsor community events, host cooking workshops that highlight Nigerian cuisine and culture, and donate a portion of profits to local charities.

Promoting Diversity & Inclusion:

Target: Cultivate a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. Actions: Implement diversity and inclusion training for staff, ensure fair hiring practices, and foster a welcoming environment for all employees and customers.
