What is greenemployment? The Employ Green Program is the Biodiversity Foundation&#8217;s initiative to improve employment and the environment. It integrates projects that initiate change processes related to the environment and sustainability. Under this program, the Foundation seeks alliances with other organizations and institutions that share the same objectives. For the period 2007-2013, the Employ Green Program has set itself the goal of supporting more than 50,000 people and promoting the creation of some 1,000 companies linked to the environment. To achieve this goal, the Program has a total allocation of 44.1 million euros, of which the ESF co-finances 80% or 50% depending on the region in question. The empleaverde Programme supports projects that set in motion processes of change related to the environment and sustainability and that have among their objectives: To promote and improve employment in general and green employment in particular. \u2022 Increase the skills and qualification of workers in environmental and sustainability issues. \u2022 Promote the modernization and innovation of companies and sectors of activity. \u2022 Promote the creation of companies linked to the environment. \u2022 Adapt economic activities to environmental regulations. \u2022 Promote the sustainability of economic activities. Objectives of the CECO<sub>2<\/sub>SME project: This project contributes to the transformation towards a low-carbon economy by providing information, training, tools and advice on the calculation of<sub>CO2<\/sub> emissions to companies, particularly SMEs. In this way, SMEs can use this tool as an element to improve competitiveness, since the environmental benefits of actions to reduce<sub>CO2<\/sub> emissions are linked to cost reductions, for example energy costs, which will allow them to strengthen their opportunities for the development of their business. The project will promote knowledge about the benefits provided by this type of tool, awareness of the opportunities to improve the economic aspects of the business through actions with environmental benefits and will promote action with regard to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in sectors not obliged by legislation.  which contributes to achieving the commitments made by the Government of Spain in the field of Climate Change.  <strong>Why Extremadura?<\/strong>  The current situation requires all sectors and economic activities to make an effort to innovate to improve their competitiveness, use and management of natural resources, in order to boost economic growth and job creation. The Autonomous Community of Extremadura has the lowest GDP per inhabitant in Spain. In addition, an important part of its localities are located in rural areas, some of them in the vicinity of protected natural spaces, such as the Jerte or La Vera counties, the Monfrag\u00fce National Park or the Cornalvo Natural Park, where the composition of the business fabric is based on SMEs and micro-SMEs, many of them based on the natural resources available in the area, on agri-food activities or rural tourism, and which usually have fewer technical resources to face the environmental and economic challenges they face. In this context, improving the capacities of companies in Extremadura to increase their competitiveness and the protection of the environment, are a boost for the sustainable economic development of Extremadura, especially in areas of high natural value, avoiding their depopulation and their conservation. In addition to the collaboration of the FEC with the Higher Council of Chambers of Commerce (CSC), to provide support service to all Spanish companies through the 88 existing chambers of commerce in our country, the project has the support of the Chambers of Commerce of the provinces of C\u00e1ceres and Badajoz, which will be one of the priority access mechanisms to the recipients of the planned activities. <strong>The project contributes to: <\/strong> \u2022 Developing tools and materials adapted to the reality of SMEs and micro-SMEs to carry out the inventory of<sub>CO2<\/sub> emissions and the implementation of measures to reduce them \u2022 Train and help companies to face the problems and challenges posed by climate change \u2022 Raise awareness among SMEs and micro-SMEs about the opportunities offered by a low-carbon economy for the economic development that it entails social improvements, such as the generation of employment, and at the same time promotes the protection of the environment \u2022 Provide elements and tools for joint action on the economic and environmental aspects of the company, improving its competitiveness and thus increasing its capacity to generate employment and avoid environmental degradation \u2022 Compliance with the reduction commitments acquired by the Spanish State by promoting the reduction of emissions in diffuse sectors (not obliged by the directive) and which are especially relevant in the Community of Extremadura as they represent 90.8% of its total emissions <strong>Recipients:<\/strong> A total of 2,310 recipients will benefit from the project&#8217;s activities.   Among the recipients, it should be noted that 38% will be located in rural, unpopulated areas, protected areas and biosphere reserves and 3% will come from economic sectors linked to the environment. Likewise, the project will pay special attention to targeting disadvantaged groups such as women, those over 45 years of age or the disabled, among others. Duration: the project has a project execution period from July 1, 2013 to June 31, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[119,110],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CECO 2 SMEs - FEC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/empresaclima.org\/en\/proyecto\/ceco2pyme\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CECO 2 SMEs - FEC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Calculation ofCO2 Emissions as a Competitiveness Tool for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (CECO2SMEs) Project developed by the Business and Climate Foundation co-financed by the Empleaverde Program of the Biodiversity Foundation.
