The Deutsche Hotel- und Gaststättenverband (DEHOGA) represents the interests of the hotel and restaurant industry in Germany. Acknowledging the environmental implications of the gastronomic landscape, DEHOGA has taken commendable strides in the development of methodologies for carbon calculations. Their approach for the restaurant sector, in particular, is tailored to capture the nuances of gastronomy's carbon footprint.

DEHOGA's methodology takes a holistic view of the restaurant industry, accounting for everything from energy consumption in cooking and storage, waste management, and even the sourcing of ingredients. By delving into the carbon intensity of food production, transportation, and preparation, the method offers restaurant operators a detailed overview of their emissions profile. This allows establishments to recognize areas of high carbon impact and subsequently make informed choices towards sustainability. Moreover, DEHOGA's continuous effort to refine and expand their carbon calculation methodologies ensures that restaurants have up-to-date and reliable tools to measure and mitigate their environmental impact.
