Environmental Grants for Businesses in the Yorkshire and Humber Region

The Business Resource Efficiency Improvement Grant (BREIG)scheme helps businesses in the Yorkshire and Humber region to improve their resource efficiency; providing grants and access to third party expertise to target reductions in waste, energy and/or water whilst at the same time delivering a boost to a business’ bottom line profitability. Funded by Yorkshire Forward through the Business Resource Efficiency and Waste (BREW) programme, BREIG helps offset the costs of capital investment or consultancy that results in the greater use of recycled or environmentally friendly processes and materials, reduced energy, fuel or water consumption, reduced landfill waste and improved production efficiencies.

Businesses can apply for a capital grant of up to £8,000, a consultancy grant of up to £2,500 and a training grant of up to £1,000 to help put in place measures which will cut waste and usage of energy and water.

BREIG grants are available until 31st March 2008 or until funds are exhausted – so apply now for a BREIG grant and start building a better future for your business.
