The EE4HORECA project aims to support the clean energy transition of the HORECA value chain by mapping its key components, identifying best practices for large companies, and developing cost-effective, collaborative business models. It will build capacity for all actors involved across the value chain and create business models, benchmarking, standardization, and monitoring tools focused on energy to improve regulatory and policy formulation in the sector.
The project also seeks to demonstrate the relevance of value chain approaches in enhancing sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness among companies, while showcasing the economic viability of collaborative efforts to green value chains.
Over three years, it will train 520 staff members, engage 420 companies in exploring energy collaborations, and expose over 1,500 stakeholders to collaborative methods in the supply chain. Additionally, 10,000 stakeholders will be reached and informed about the initiative and its tools, with data evidence on energy use made available to market actors.
