Procedure details

Purpose

The grant is intended to encourage Bavarian companies to adopt a corporate environmental policy that systematically anchors environmental protection in companies and internal processes in such a way that not only compliance with the relevant environmental regulations is strengthened, but also continuous and sustainable voluntary improvements in corporate environmental performance are made.

Object

Funding is provided exclusively within the framework of project groups. A project sponsor organizes group consultations.

Recipients of funding

Funding is provided exclusively within the framework of project groups (minimum 5 to maximum 15 participants).

The project sponsor and the individual project group participants are eligible to apply.

Project sponsors can be companies, business organizations, such as chambers, associations or guilds, and municipalities. Consultancies are excluded from project sponsorship.

Project group participants are commercial enterprises, freelancers, business organizations, such as chambers, associations or guilds, or municipal enterprises and municipal companies based or established in Bavaria.
