Complying with standards

Sometimes a company must comply with standards, a legal or administrative decision or a permit during its lifetime. Although these investments can be restrictive, your company can receive support thanks to allowances.

The standards compliance allowance

If an environmental, quality, security or sanitation standard requires your company to modify its product manufacturing process, you can apply for the “standards compliance” allowance to benefit from a 40% subsidy for the cost, excluding VAT, of eligible investments. These investments can involve machines, equipment or even the layout of your establishment, if necessary, to change the manufacturing process of your products.

The investment allowance 

If a legal or administrative decision, a standard or a permit related to neighbourhood disturbances, the restoration of polluted sites, the treatment of polluted soils, or plantings, green roofs or walls (no planning fee) require works, your company can benefit from the “investment allowance: neighbourhood disturbances, polluted site, plantings”, for which the assistance rate is 40%, excluding VAT, of the cost of eligible investments.
