Because the ecological transition of businesses is “essential”, underlines Jérôme Bouquet, director of the Bpifrance Paris region network, it is high time to support those ready to take the path.
Also, the public investment bank decided to join forces with the Ile-de-France region to offer a dedicated loan.
This recently launched system plans to grant between 10,000 and 500,000 euros of financing to VSEs and SMEs by the end of the year, for a total envelope of 20 million euros.
Enough to help nearly 150 regional businesses.
The initiative is a continuation of the energy performance diagnostics that Bpifrance has been encouraging to carry out for three years with Ademe.
Depending on the needs, this can be the Diag Eco-Flux, to eliminate waste in energy, water, materials and waste, or the Diag Décarbon'Action and Ecodesign, to reduce the carbon impact and the environmental impact of products , services and processes.
“Nearly 600 SMEs will use it in 2023,” notes the director, who highlights a level “beyond our forecasts”, especially since these diagnostics cost them 4,000 euros.
More than 1,000 are expected to be carried out this year.
