View answerThe company in question has not received any mitigating aid towards carbon emission off-setting from Enterprise Ireland. Enterprise Ireland offers a number of measures to help businesses on their sustainability and carbon reduction journey. The Government recently launched the Enterprise Emissions Reduction Investment Fund which provides a capital investment for decarbonisation processes and energy monitoring and tracking systems.
My Department's Climate Toolkit for Business website, also provides a very practical starting point for every business looking to take their first steps to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and make more sustainable choices and be part of our national effort to reduce emissions.
