Le 25 imprese selezionate hanno seguito un percorso articolato in tre fasi:
Nel maggio 2024 è stata pubblicata la call per la selezione delle imprese dell’economia sociale con progetti innovativi per la transizione ecologica. In Italia sono state individuate 33 imprese sociali, selezionate per il loro potenziale di miglioramento in termini di sostenibilità ambientale. Le 33 imprese hanno partecipato a un programma di formazione e coaching per rafforzare le loro competenze e perfezionare le strategie di greening. Il programma ha previsto 10 sessioni di 4 ore ciascuna, distribuite in 8 settimane, durante le quali i partecipanti hanno lavorato su business model sostenibili, accesso ai finanziamenti, misurazione dell’impatto ambientale e cooperazione multi-stakeholder. Le imprese hanno anche avuto l’opportunità di partecipare a eventi transnazionali, con l’obiettivo di condividere esperienze e sviluppare collaborazioni strategiche.
Al termine del percorso formativo, le imprese hanno avuto la possibilità di candidarsi per ottenere un grant da utilizzare per acquistare servizi di consulenza specializzata. Sono state selezionate le 25 imprese beneficiarie sopra elencate, che riceveranno un contributo variabile, fino ad un massimo di 8.700 euro, per finanziare consulenze mirate allo sviluppo e alla realizzazione del loro piano di transizione ecologica.
