At Kingfisher Hampers, we believe that enjoying the finest Hampshire produce should go hand-in-hand with caring for our beautiful surroundings. We’re committed to minimising our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices throughout our operations.
Minimising Waste:
We’re actively working to reduce the amount of waste we produce. This includes:
- Using compostable packaging for all of our perishable items.
- Using glass and cans for drinks which can be widely recycled, instead of plastic.
- Removing single-use plastics from our hampers, and opting for reusable or recyclable alternatives.
- Encouraging our customers to reuse their cool bags. These high-quality bags are designed for repeated use.
- Offering a return-a-hamper programme so they can be re-used if customers don’t want to keep them.
Sustainable Sourcing:
We’re passionate about showcasing the best of Hampshire, and that means supporting local producers. Our commitment includes;
- Sourcing our ingredients from local suppliers where possible, reducing food miles and supporting the local economy.
- Prioritising seasonal produce to ensure freshness and reduce the environmental impact of long-distance transportation and storage.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint:
We’re conscious of our impact on the environment and are taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint:
- Utilising electric vans for our deliveries and actively working towards transitioning our entire fleet to electric vehicles by 2026. We believe in leading the way in sustainable delivery practices.
- Optimising our delivery routes to minimise mileage and reduce fuel consumption.
Continuous Improvement:
Sustainability is an ongoing process, and we’re committed to continuous improvement. This means:
- Regularly reviewing and updating our sustainability policy to reflect best practices and new innovations.
- Educating our staff about sustainable practices and encouraging their participation in our efforts.
