MK Corporate Responsibility
Our Commitment to a Greener, Better Future
Sustainable. Ethical. Impactful.
Sustainability Isn’t a Slogan. It’s the Standard.
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 KM-1 UV ink-jet presses, BB700 inserters, and a full LED lighting retrofit, reducing energy consumption by 30%.
Eco-Conscious Printing
We print on FSC-certified paper, reducing deforestation and promoting responsible sourcing.
Waste Reduction & Smarter Mail
Our advanced address cleansing & data optimization ensure fewer undeliverable mail pieces, meaning less waste and higher efficiency.
Ditching Single-Use Plastics
We prioritize eco-friendly packaging, cutting down on polybags and plastic envelopes wherever possible. Every new team member receives a reusable Yeti water bottle to reduce single-use plastics.
PrintReleaf Partnership
Every pound of paper we print is offset by tree planting initiatives, with reforestation efforts in projects like the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia.
We aren’t just printing smarter, we’re printing for a greener future.
Marketing Kitchen won Canada Post’s Inaugural Smartmail Marketing Award
“For excellence in sustainable leadership within the mail industry”
Social Responsibility: Building Stronger Communities
We believe in making a difference beyond the workplace. Our team actively supports charities, environmental initiatives, and social causes that matter:
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!
OSPCA Annual Cupcake Fundraiser
We bake, sell, and walk for animal welfare, raising funds and awareness for the Ontario SPCA.
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.
Holiday Helpers & Refugee Support
We personally shop for families in need, ensuring those new to Canada have a warmer, brighter first holiday season.
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.
We support our staff with wellness programs, health and safety training, and an inclusive, diverse workplace. Every employee is part of our collective effort to drive positive change, both in the workplace and in the community.
When you work with us, you’re supporting a company that believes in giving back.
Governance: Doing the Right Thing, Every Time
Strong governance and ethical leadership ensure that we operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability at every level:
Leadership With Integrity
Our President, Audrey Jamieson, is committed to ethical business practices, serving as Deputy Chair of Union Villa, a long-term care charity.
Diversity & Inclusion
We celebrate our ethnically diverse Ontario roots and prioritize fair hiring practices, ensuring equal opportunity for all. Every new hire is paired with a buddy system to foster inclusion and belonging.
Workplace Wellness & Safety
Our Health & Wellness Committee organizes expert-led wellness sessions, provides free healthy snacks, and ensures all employees complete mandatory provincial safety training.
Open Communication
Our leadership fosters transparency with open-door policies and regular updates through newsletters, ensuring every team member is heard and informed.
We hold our suppliers to the same high ethical standards, building partnerships based on trust, sustainability, and shared values.
Marketing Kitchen is built on trust, respect, and ethical responsibility - values we bring to every client relationship. ESG efforts aren’t just good business - they’re the right thing to do.
