Green Offer Directory of Green Service Providers

1. Green Offer in brief

Enterprise Ireland’s Green Offer is a programme designed to encourage clients to adopt Environmental Best Practice in their organisation to increase competitiveness. The programme is based on differing levels of intensity as follows:

GreenStart : focus on value The GreenStart programme is designed for SME companies providing a short seven day assignment with an approved environmental consultant. It aims to increase the level of environmental awareness relating to regulatory compliance and help with the development of a basic management system in companies which do not have in-house expertise or have conducted limited environmental activities to date. This is an assignment of up to 7 (in company) consultancy days, extending over 8 to 12 weeks.

GreenPlus : performance improvement A more extensive environmental improvement, training based assignment delivered by an external environmental consultant. It will result in sustained use of Environmental Best Practice to achieve international standards certification level, in environmental management, energy/carbon management, life cycle thinking etc. and bring about savings through resource efficiency improvements. A GreenPlus assignment will typically be not less than 6 months duration.

LeanTransform : business transformation This is an extensive, holistic company Lean transformation programme delivered by an external consultancy team of international reputation. It will embed the culture and competences in the company necessary for on-going competitiveness gains, sustainable continuous improvement and business transformation across the business and its supply chain. LeanTransform assignments will be preceded by a diagnostic evaluation and will typically extend for at least 1 year. These assignments may include an environmental component to provide training in Environmental Best Practice.

Programme availabilityThis programme is available to Enterprise Ireland clients subject to eligibility as determined by Enterprise Ireland and depending on the client’s existing capability in using Lean business principles, the client size, and their particular business development needs.

2. Directory of Green Service Providers in brief

The purpose of the directory is to assist Enterprise Ireland clients who wish to participate in the Green Offer to identify a service provider who can demonstrate the necessary expertise and experience to carry out a GreenStart, GreenPlus or Lean Transform assignment. Please ensure you are familiar with the appropriate guidelines for the Green Offer before completing this application.

Clients are wholly responsible for selecting a service provider.

The information provided by a green service provider in this application should demonstrate the skills and experience of the provider through actual examples of projects the provider has undertaken. While the project examples may not appear on the website, applicants who do not demonstrate capability in particular areas will not be listed against those areas. The website will allow our client companies to search using key categories such as Sector Experience and Functional Experience. Perusers will also have the facility to search for keywords. For this reason it is important to include key skill/experience words, subsectors or ‘buzz’ words in the Brief Description of Business, particularly in the case where your experience is particularly value adding and relatively unique. ________________________________________________________________
