Finding out about Spuerkeess’ Aid & Financing Advice
Our role is to support you in your energy efficiency projects and make you aware of the available aid and grants. As Deputy Head of Business unit Facility Management & Logistics at Spuerkeess, Michel Abraao is one of the drivers of the Bank’s efforts to become a facilitator of the transition to a sustainable economy.
Can you explain the concept of the Aid & Financing Advice?
The Aid & Financing Advice aims to support our professional and private customers in the transition to a sustainable economy and offer appropriate advice in connection with energy efficiency projects.
We have put in place tools that will enable us to identify together with our customers, projects that are eligible for aid and subsidies, in order to make these customers aware of and inform them of the possible different state and private aid available. Our aim is to guide the customer with regard to the formalities to be carried out, propose the appropriate type of loan for the different projects and support the customer in their ecological, energy and sustainable projects.
What are the main advantages of the Aid & Financing Advice?
The main objective is to make our customers aware of and inform them of the possible public and private aid and subsidies available, according to their projects. There are many aid systems and it is not always easy to identify the elements of a project that are eligible for aid.
Whether in the context of work on renovating a residential property, construction of a new home, but also projects promoting renewable energies such as photovoltaic energy or quite simply electromobility, we can offer our customers an overview of the eligibility conditions and criteria for possible aid and subsidy systems. Therefore, the customer has all the information that will enable them, together with our advisers, to establish the appropriate method of financing.
A major trend in terms of sustainability is the growing momentum of technology, ranging from wind farms, photovoltaics and electric cars, to artificial intelligence and big data. What does sustainability mean for you?
For me, sustainable development is multifaceted, and it is through the decisions of today that we will influence the daily life of tomorrow.
I think that sustainable development should be able to meet the needs of our generation, without compromising future generations.
