Impact Updates 06/2024

Dear Community, 

As the days grow longer and warmer, we at Kraftwerk are ready to offer you a truly splendid season! 

This June, join us for the third annual “Clima à la Carte.” In collaboration with the City of Zurich and FOOD ZURICH, over 100 Zurich gastronomes celebrate a month dedicated to climate protection. Our talented culinary team, led by Chef Marcel Oesterreich, creates plant-based delights that are not only sustainable but also incredibly delicious. Marcel knows the current desires, preferences, and trends, and translates them into creative dishes. Actually, at Kraftwerk, we champion "Clima à la Carte" all year round, with a steadfast commitment to vegetarian cooking and a focus on local, regional, and seasonal ingredients - ensuring enjoyment without compromise. 

We are very proud to have the City of Zurich as a strong partner by our side, not just for the "Clima à la Carte" initiative. Together, through our programs like Klimaforum and Climathon Zurich, we are advancing the net-zero 2040 goal - just last week we had over 150 people at Kraftwerk for our annual Klimaforum event. Last year, we joined the charta launched by the Umwelt- und Gesundheitsschutz der Stadt Zürich and healthy3, which promotes healthy, climate-friendly, and enjoyable dining experiences. By supporting this charta, we reaffirm our dedication to transforming the food industry and creating a sustainable future. Come by and experience how delicious climate protection can taste! 

Moreover, our summer programming doesn't stop there. Every Thursday and Friday in June and July, the legendary Apero Electronique sets the stage for you to kick off the weekend right. Enjoy great drinks, relaxed vibes, and cool beats from top-notch DJs on our terrace. And on weekdays when the weather is favorable, we broadcast European Championship matches. Check out the full lineup of events in all our locations here. And don't miss our dedicated Kultur Agenda.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Kraftwerk for a summer full of innovation, enjoyment, and community!
