MK Corporate Responsibility
Our Commitment to a Greener, Better Future
Sustainable. Ethical. Impactful.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) drives how we print, partner, and show up -
for our clients, our community, and the planet.
Environmental: Greener Printing, Brighter Future
At Marketing Kitchen, sustainability isn’t a side dish - it’s baked into everything we do. We are industry leaders in sustainable direct mail and print production, ensuring that every step of our process reduces environmental impact.
Energy-Efficient Operations
Our facility runs on smart energy solutions, including our 2 KM-1 UV ink-jet presses, BB700 inserters, and a full LED lighting retrofit, reducing energy consumption by 30%.
Waste Reduction & Smarter Mail
Our advanced address cleansing & data optimization ensure fewer undeliverable mail pieces, meaning less waste and higher efficiency.
Recycling as standard
We prioritize eco-friendly packaging, and every new team member receives a reusable Yeti water bottle to reduce single-use plastics. Batteries, paper & plastics are all recycled.
Sustainability Isn’t a Slogan. It’s the Standard.
Marketing Kitchen won Canada Post’s Inaugural Smartmail Marketing Award
“For excellence in sustainable leadership within the mail industry”
We aren’t just printing smarter, we’re printing for a greener future.
Replanting Trees - One Print campaign at a Time
Restoring Forests with Every Project
Through its PrintReleaf partnership, Marketing Kitchen ensures every print job contributes to global reforestation. Paper use is automatically measured, and the equivalent number of trees is replanted in certified restoration projects around the world.
Certified and Verified Impact
Each project meets rigorous environmental standards, aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, and is independently audited to guarantee long-term growth and survival.
See the Difference
Clients can track their positive impact in real time — right down to the exact number of trees planted — with a simple QR scan or link.
Social Responsibility: Building Stronger Communities
When you work with us, you’re supporting a company that believes in giving back.
Million Dollar Smiles
The MK chefs came together to fund and build a playground for a child in need with over one-third of our team volunteering to help on the wettest of weekends!
Supporting Women & Indigenous Communities
We donate unused materials to women’s shelters and provide pro-bono printing for Indigenous cultural initiatives, such as books that preserve Mohawk language and heritage.
Cupcake Fundraiser
Every year, we put on our true chefs hat to bake and sell, and walk for animal welfare, raising funds and awareness for the Ontario SPCA.
Holiday Helpers Refugee Support
We personally shop for families in need, ensuring those new to Canada have a warmer, brighter first holiday season.
CNIB Pup Crawl
Every year we raise funds by walking 6km to a local pub and then celebrate our arrival with drinks and snacks. In truth it’s a great way to raise money and bond over beer.
Internal Health and Wellbeing program
Our staff enjoy wellness programs and an inclusive, diverse workplace. We are all part of our collective effort to drive positive change, both in the workplace and in the community.
