Description

Financing of small scale projects carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps with high relevance in terms of sustainability and/or social impact.

Additionality and Impact

The project supports the financing of small-scale projects carried out by SMEs and Mid-Caps with a particular focus on sustainability and/or social impact in the Netherlands. The project makes a very good policy contribution, as it addresses constraints in access to finance for SMEs and Mid-Caps and gears attention to Climate Action & Environmental Sustainability (CA&ES) and social impact. The expected results include improvements in access to finance and financing conditions for final beneficiaries, especially the frontrunners in the targeted policy areas of social impact and CA&ES, as well as additional advantages, such as sector certification. The financially sound intermediary is well placed and has a strong track record of implementing such projects. The EIB has played a cornerstone role in the scheme and is thus sending a signal to the market on the viability of projects built around CA&ES and social impact.
