In line with Kenya's 2030 Vision of sustainable ecosystems, all packaging utilized by The Group will be made of biodegradable material including bamboo cutlery.Jay Shanghavi, Managing Director of the Good Earth Group noted, "As a Group, our mission is clear. We want to deliver hospitality concepts that are proudly Kenyan and yet can stand against any international offering on a global scale. When we introduced Nyama Mama back in 2016 our concept took something so familiar and comfortable to Kenyans yet we presented it in a fresh, modern context. We believe this has been the key to our success and we plan to continue to roll out this formula in the many innovative concepts that will be launched in 2019."Jay further highlighted " Part of our commitment to Vision 2030 is to empower Kenyan youth, to give them a platform to express their creativity and develop their skills. Much of our team is a young team, one that is focused to bringing the very best experience to patrons."2018 was an important year for TGEG:● Nyama Mama won Best African Cuisine on the Continent at the World Luxury Restaurant Awards as well as Best Homestyle Cuisine in Kenya at the MEA (Middle East & Africa) Africa Excellence Awards.● Nyama Mama expanded to a second flagship outlet at Capital Centre Mombasa Road.
