More and more people are choosing regional products when shopping. They want to know: Where do my consumer goods actually come from? Under what conditions are they produced? What materials are they made of? When we talk about regional added value, we are referring to the geographical limitation to a specific region. It is considered which services originate from the region and which are sourced from outside. The more processing phases of a product take place within a region, the greater the regional value added. Maximum regional added value is achieved, for example, with foodstuffs that are grown, processed and marketed within a region.

Regional value chains provide important jobs and promote the local economy. They also often lead to long-term partnerships between regional players. The resulting marketing processes, short transportation routes, conservation of resources and flexibility of delivery quantities often lead to high profitability and satisfied consumers.

Companies that want to be part of the urgently needed economic transformation should review their value chains and optimize them as far as possible from a sustainable perspective. The network of the Nachhaltigkeits-Hub Region Bonn supports you in creating the conditions, initiating processes and turning your ideas into action.
