EHEDG is proud to present the Yearbook 2024—a comprehensive reflection of the milestones, achievements and initiatives that shaped our organisation over the past year.

Whether you're deeply involved in hygienic design or simply curious about the latest developments in the field, the EHEDG Yearbook is your ultimate guide to everything that made 2024 remarkable for our network.

• A Message from the Boards: The Yearbook opens with thoughtful reflections from our Foundation and Advisory Boards, as well as our Director. Their message outlines the strategic vision and collaborative spirit that guided EHEDG through a year of growth, innovation and renewed global engagement.
• Progress in Guidelines and Working Groups: EHEDG Working Groups have been at the core of our technical progress. In 2024, several new guidelines were released, each the result of extensive collaboration between experts in engineering, food safety and design. The yearbook details the evolution of these teams and highlights the contributions of our dedicated volunteers.
• Training and Education Highlights: Education remained a key priority throughout 2024. The Yearbook celebrates our newly appointed Authorised Trainers, showcases success stories from training courses conducted across continents, and provides insights into new educational projects that promote research and nurture the next generation of hygienic design ambassadors.
• Regional Development: From Asia to the Americas, EHEDG Regional Sections have launched inspiring local initiatives. The Yearbook takes you on a journey through these activities, demonstrating how global challenges are being met with local action and innovation.
• Projects and Partnerships: A standout initiative last year was the EYE Mentorship Programme, now proudly in its second edition. This and other collaborations underscore EHEDG’s commitment to supporting young professionals, expanding research networks and promoting cross-sector dialogue.
• Full Working Groups Day: One of the highlights of 2024 was our Full Working Groups Day, which brought together over 100 participants from around the world. This event strengthened connections and fostered dynamic exchanges of ideas that will shape our work for years to come.
• EHEDG World Congress: The EHEDG World Congress returned with great success in Nantes, France. A cornerstone event for our network, it featured keynote presentations, technical sessions, and opportunities for networking and innovation sharing—all covered extensively in this publication.
• Market Trends: The Yearbook offers an informed look at current market trends, including an important update on PFAS and their implications for food safety and equipment design.
