Aying brewery to conduct regional audit
Protecting the environment and adhering to the principles of sustainability - that is what managing the 90.000 hl brewery at Aying to the southeast of Munich is all about. Perhaps this is also the reason why its owner, Franz Inselkammer, is the first German brewer to initiate a regional audit of his business. He wanted to find out in empirical terms what it means to be a regional brewer.
Since the 1992 Rio Conference and its Agenda 21, we know that sustainability unites economic, social and environmental issues. Aying’s regional audit, which was completed in October, shows that 82% of ist raw materials and utilities are sourced locally, 17,5% in Bavaria. Only 0.5 percent originate in the rest of Germany. Ecologically speaking, Aying is very much focussed on the region south of Munich.
