What the scheme covers
Service implementing the biodiversity module and associated costs: an exploratory phase to identify the activity’s dependencies and impacts; preliminary project phases to prepare an improvement approach and, where relevant, recognition as an “Entreprise engagée pour la nature” (business committed to nature). The funding covers support from a listed provider, not ecological restoration works or equipment not provided for in the module.
