About energy efficiency at the Igeho Congress

Congress for the community catering

At the first Igeho Congress, which focused on community catering, around 200 experts and decision-makers exchanged views on the topics of business, care, education and energy efficiency. All of them are current challenges of the community catering industry and illuminate them from different perspectives.

Current challenges of the gastronomy

According to trend researcher Christine Schäfer of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI), in a world characterized by external shocks, the climate crisis and changing consumer needs, it is increasingly important for restaurateurs to be flexible and able to respond to changing conditions. Aspects such as health, animal welfare, sustainability and digital offerings must play a central role.

In the workshop "Energy efficiency - quo vadis?", the managing director of Eartheffect Martin Räber and Stephan Künzle (ewz) explored basics, savings potential and funding opportunities for community catering as well as innovative suggestions for implementation.
