Environmental Loan

An environmental loan is intended for voluntary environmental investments by SMEs. Projects should be based on the best technology available and the investment should give rise to significant positive environmental impacts.

In accordance with its lifecycle philosophy, Finnvera finances environmental projects whose positive environmental impacts relate to raw materials and other tangible production investments, product manufacture, energy consumption, emissions reduction, the removal of a product from use or improvements to the working environment (including noise, dust and particle emissions).

The interest rate of an Environmental Loan is lower than on a normal Finnvera investment loan.

In 2007–2013 interest support for the loan may be obtainable from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), provided that the enterprise and the project are located in the EU objective regions, as defined in EU regional policy, and meet the eligibility criteria for assistance.
