Enterprise Ireland
Enterprise Ireland's Environment Unit provides financial supports to improve the environmental performance of industry. Two financial support initiatives are currently available.
1. Environmental Management Systems (EMS): Grant Scheme
Under this initiative suitable applicants may receive grant support towards the costs of engaging independent consultants to install, in full or in part, a certified Environmental Management System (EMS) to ISO14001 or the EU 'Eco-Management & Audit Scheme' (EMAS) standard.
The initiative is aimed at improving the strategic capability of SMEs in the management of their environmental issues and to develop and exploit the market opportunities that improved environmental performance can provide.

2. Environmentally Superior Products (ESP) initiative
The Environmentally Superior Products (ESP) initiative is designed to support manufacturing companies experiencing legal or market pressures to reduce the environmental impact of their products.
ESP provides financial and other supports to assess ways to reduce the environmental impact of a product(s) without compromising product functionality, quality, ability to manufacture or cost.
