Grant aid is offered by a number of Irish government departments to help companies improve their environmental performance. The grant schemes and eligibility changes from time to time and so only a general overview is provided. Environmental Efficiency has excellent relationships with the organisations listed below and can help you formulate a suitable proposal to submit for grant aid.

Implementation of Environmental Management Systems.
Both Enterprise Ireland and Shannon Development offer grant aid to help implement to either ISO 14001 or EMAS through the use of consultants. The grants are for a three stage implementation and grant aid is payable on completion of each stage. Successful certification to ISO 14001 or EMAS is not required to claim the grant. Grant aid is 50% of eligible costs. The scheme is open to all Irish owned SMEs. For further details refer to the Enterprise Ireland or Shannon Development website as applicable.
