SME Packages - Sustainability
Last update
As part of the SME Packages – Sustainability support programme, you will receive individualised assistance while identifying practical solutions to reduce your environmental impact. This will generate savings by reducing your energy or water consumption, improving your waste management, or reducing your carbon footprint.
By using SME Packages – Sustainability, you can combine economy and ecology by undertaking a first project that has a positive impact on the following areas:
- Energy: implementation of energy reduction tools;
- Water: implementation of water reduction tools;
- Waste: implementation of waste management or reduction tools;
- Carbon footprint: carbon assessment and action plan.
Who is concerned?
Any company that:
- has a business permit issued by the General Directorate for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises of the Ministry of the Economy;
- meets the conditions for SMEs in terms of staff, annual turnover and annual balance sheet;
- has its registered office in Luxembourg.
