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, and tools of circularity;
  • carbon footprint: carbon assessment and action plan, potential for decarbonisation.

Who is concerned

Any company that:

  • has a business permit issued by 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.

Companies interested in SME Packages – Sustainability must first contact the House of Sustainability of the Chamber of Commerce or the eHandwierk department of the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts (for craft companies).

Companies must undergo a pre-analysis by the House of Sustainability or the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts, which helps the company to complete the grant application form.

Costs

To benefit from the SME Packages – Sustainability programme, companies must carry out a project worth between EUR 3,000 excl. VAT and EUR 25,000 excl. VAT.

Submitting and reviewing your application

Your application for financial aid is completed by a House of Sustainability adviser or by an eHandwierk adviser for craft businesses.
