“Starter package” on Green Conversion

The green transition is today a basic condition for all companies. Legal and customer requirements for data and reporting on ESG (Environment, Social & Governance) already mean that suppliers are selected to and from depending on whether they can document their sustainability efforts.

Some companies are already far along with this, others have only just begun and some have not quite made up their minds yet. We know that it can be a difficult process to get started, and therefore we have made a collaboration with Buchhave Rådgivning to help smaller production, craft and construction companies get started.

Through a course with the company, Buchhave Rådgivning provides sparring on both strategy, objectives, concrete initiatives, etc.

For further information about the collaboration with Buchhave Rådgivning contact Susanne Gren Svendsen tel. 9282 6965, sgs@billunderhverv.dk

Also pay attention to the conference 'Green Transformation on Winning Strategy', which we are holding on 1 June.

Collaborates with knowledge institutions

Labor shortages are at the top of the agenda in virtually all professional groups, and competition is fierce. Getting hold of the young people already during their studies is therefore an important tool to ensure your company the skills you need both now and in the long run.

During the autumn, we at Billund ErhvervsFremme have visited a number of knowledge institutions to become sharper on how we can connect their students to the companies in Billund municipality.

As a result of this, we do i.a. joint visits, where we, together with the relevant contact at the place of education - eg the internship manager - visit relevant and interested companies in Billund municipality.

Most recently, we have been around with associate professor Henning Slavensky from Aarhus University's Herning department.

Henning Slavensky is responsible for educating Stærkstrøms and Svagstrøms engineers, and is currently in the process of finding internships for his students to start up in September.

Among other things. we have carried out an exciting visit to GEV and Scandinavian Avionics, where it seems that we can succeed in creating one or more internships.

Does your company want help to get interns and students in, among other things. production technology, finance, marketing, crafts, trade or IT - then we are happy to help mediate contact to e.g. AU Herning, SDU Kolding, IBA Kolding, VIA Horsens and / or Skive College m.fl.

Funds for green conversion

The green transformation of your company can be helped get started with funds from the Green Circular Transformation Scheme (GCO).

From 2022, large companies must report their ESG values. From 2025, there will also be requirements for reporting ESG values ​​from small and medium-sized enterprises.

ESG stands for “environmental, social and governance”, ie. environmental, social and managerial conditions, - and reporting of environmental conditions must include the CO2 footprint.

If you are in doubt about how to get started with the green transition, it is now possible for SME companies to get up to DKK 90.000 for consulting assistance. It can, for example, be helpful to get an overview of the company's current CO2 emissions and input to an action plan for reducing the company's CO2 emissions.

The offer involves:

  • Up to DKK 90.000 to develop your business
  • A concrete plan for how your company can work more circularly
  • Development of new business potentials
  • Competitive advantages and preparation for the future increased demands for sustainable manufacturing, products, packaging and logistics
  • Professional, industry-skilled consulting service that looks at the company's resource use with new eyes

There is an application deadline for the GCO pool every 20th of the month, and help is available to prepare the application.

Our colleagues in Erhvervshus Sydjylland's professional team, Grøn Omstilling, are happy to visit and talk about the possibilities for grants. An opportunity that several production companies in Billund municipality have already taken advantage of. We have already, together with specialist in green conversion from Erhvervshus Sydjylland Peter Lind, had meetings with several companies in the municipality to gain insight into the possibilities for grants and concrete initiatives.

If you are interested in hearing about the possibilities for help with the green transition, please contact: Marie Skov Lillelund, at 92823605 or msl@billunderhverv.dk

New rules for homework

On Thursday 3 February 2022, the government, together with the Liberal Party, the Danish People's Party, the Radical Left and the Conservatives, agreed on a new model for the working environment rules that apply to homework.

Today, a number of special requirements apply to the design of so-called 'screen workplaces'. The rules occur when the screen work either takes place during the entire working time or takes place regularly and the working time corresponds to one day or more within a normal working week.

In order to make the rules more up-to-date, so that they meet the fact that more and more people have changing workplaces, it has therefore been agreed to change them.

In future, the rule that working hours must correspond to one day or more will be set at more than two days a week, seen as an average over approximately one month. This applies to screen work at home, at permanent workplaces and at changing workplaces.

The new rules are expected to enter into force at the end of April 2022.

SME: Green

The green transition is well underway - and before long there will probably be a CO2 tax, which will make it even more attractive to have the green transition implemented in your company.

You can apply for DKK 50.000 in support to further develop your green idea, or DKK 150.000 in support to further develop your green plan.

You can benefit from Voucher 1, as the pool with DKK 50.000 is called, if your company is an SME and relatively new in green conversion, and you want to make the company greener - through advice, investment and competence development.

If you have taken the step further in the green transition, it might be Voucher 2 that might be of interest to you. Voucher 2 is worth DKK 150.000 and is for you who already have a green plan and an ambition to speed up the plans, also through advice, investment and competence development.

The business program SME Green opened for applications on 24 January and the application deadline is 18 February 2022.
