With a workshop on energy efficiency, Martin Räber and Stephan Künzle (ewz) explored the savings potential and funding opportunities for 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.
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.
Rising electricity prices and increasing awareness of sustainable development require efficient use of energy. 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.

The congress was created jointly by Igeho and its patron partner, the Swiss Association for Hospital, Home and Community Catering (SVG), to enable the hotel & catering industry to exchange ideas. Current topics such as home office, school catering, sustainable consumption, the change in the age structure of the population and energy efficiency will be addressed.
