Karma Kitchen operates six-to-eight London dark kitchen sites with a small 27-person team. The company makes unsubstantiated claims about renewable energy and Net Zero by 2030 but publishes zero emissions data, no sustainability report, and no verified targets. Growth is outpacing any decarbonisation planning.
