Information updated on 27/09/22

Merchants, restaurant and coffee shop owners, tourism professionals, and small business managers, would you like to improve your thermal insulation, optimize waste sorting, save water, and reduce your electricity bill?

Contact your Hérault Chamber of Commerce and Industry advisor to assess your facility’s most urgent needs regarding energy and environmental issues. The analysis is covered by the Plan France Relance economic recovery plan. Transform your company, make the most of your action, be more effective and efficient!

 
The French government announced a new 15 million euro program to offer free assessments to merchants, restaurant owners, cafe owners, tourism professionals, independent contractors, and small business owners to help accelerate their ecological transition. Many professionals have expressed the need to be informed and assisted in implementing their ecological transition.
 
The Hérault CCI is therefore providing support to entrepreneurs who wish to launch or accelerate their transition with a rapid and realistic assessment of their situation.
Conducted free of charge by a specialized CCI advisor, the ecological transition assessment takes place in two stages and can facilitate access to certain types of financial aid.
The impact of your activity on the environment is assessed through 5 main themes, based on 12 topics covered in 25 questions related to:
  • Strategic management
  • Facility management
  • Waste
  • Purchasing
  • Mobility
Feedback is provided after the assessment, giving you information about your issues and projects related to the ecological transition, as well as a proposal for priority actions to help you in your sustainable development efforts, such as controlling energy consumption, optimizing costs, and making responsible purchases, among others.
 

What happens next?

You can choose to be assisted by an expert CCI advisor to help you implement one or more of the actions identified during the assessment.
Guidance is tailored to your company’s specific needs, projects, and desires in order to best meet your expectations:
  • Preparing your subsidy request
  • Analyzing energy consumption
  • Finding dedicated local suppliers
  • Analyzing your waste management practices
  • Communicating with your customers and employees about your commitments
  • Etc...
The cost is fully covered by the French government as part of the France Relance program.
Reserved for merchants, restaurant and café owners, tourism professionals, self-employed entrepreneurs, and small business managers within the framework of France Relance, the ecological transition assessment not only allows you to engage in a stimulating eco-responsible approach, but also to achieve potential savings, which are always welcome!
