Aid for businesses carrying out an eco-responsible project
This local scheme supports certain eco-responsible investments by retail, craft and tourism businesses. The listed operations include energy renovation of business premises and the purchase of productive equipment. The catalogue indicates a grant of 30% of eligible expenditure, capped at €6,000, subject to territorial criteria, exclusions and the current rules.
Reducing a business’s environmental impact often comes down to very concrete decisions: insulating premises, modernising equipment or replacing energy-hungry machinery. This aid from the Pays d’Uzerche targets retail, craft and tourism businesses with an eco-responsible project. It is particularly relevant when expenditure can be linked to lower consumption, an environmental improvement or a more sustainable practice.
