Sustainability strategies, carbon footprints, energy efficiency, or transformations all cost time and money. Funding programmes can help – if the project, company, and application are a good fit.
We realistically assess whether funding is worthwhile, translate your project idea into a fundable undertaking, and support its implementation.
Eligibility depends on the company, location, project content, and timing. We realistically assess which programme is suitable – and clearly advise if an application is not worthwhile.
| Your project | Typical occasion | Suitable funding opportunities | Potential funding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sustainability Strategy & Transformation | You want to build sustainability in a structured way, set priorities, or develop an ESG roadmap. | BAFA Business Consultancy, National Programmes e.g. Thuringia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse | depending on the programme approx. 50–80 % or 400–500 € per consultative day |
| ESG data, VSME & Sustainability Report | Customers, banks, or supply chains are requesting sustainability data – but processes and responsibilities are missing. | BAFA Business Consultancy, Sustainable Business Hessen, National Programmes | e.g. until €2,800 BAFA grant, in Hessen until 6.000 € |
| THG Balance, Climate & Reduction Measures | You want to record emissions, develop climate goals, or derive concrete measures. | Companies are pursuing climate protection in Baden-Württemberg, BAFA Module 5, and depending on the project, also consulting programmes. | bis 9.000 € for climate protection in BW, until 60.000 € for transformation plan |
| Energy efficiency and decarbonisation | Energy consumption, costs, or emissions are to be systematically reduced. | BAFA Module 5 Transformation Plan, Regional Climate and Advisory Programmes | bis 60.000 €, own contribution depends on company size |
| Workshops, Training & Change | Sustainability shouldn't rest with an individual, but should be embraced by teams and leadership. | BAFA Business Consultancy, national programmes, possibly qualification or club funding | depending on the programme 50–80 %, daily rates or small grants |
| Innovation, Business Model & New Offerings | You want to develop sustainable products, services, or business models. | Regional programmes e.g. Thuringia, Rhineland-Palatinate, possibly BAFA business consultancy | Frequently 400–500 € per consultative day, usually limited to approx. 20 days |
We realistically assess whether funding is feasible for your sustainability project – and will also clearly state if an application isn't worthwhile – or, alternatively, how your idea can become a strong, actionable initiative. We investigate suitable funding opportunities, refine the goals and benefits of your project, and support you throughout its implementation.
The funding check will give you:
