Numerous state and communal funding programmes provide grants to fund the use of sustainable building products (e.g. thermal insulation) with the natureplus certificate, because the use of environmentally-friendly and healthy materials provides added value to the construction project or renovation measure.

Here you can find information on the programmes that offer these financial benefits:

If you know about a funding programme that is not in the list, please let us know. You will thereby be helping to promote the increased use of natureplus certified products.

As environmentally-friendly and healthy buildings are regarded as being more valuable, some credit institutes make the award of interest rate subsidies dependent on the use of natureplus certified products.

In numerous tendering specifications and building certification systems, the natureplus eco-label is recognized as proof of the sustainable characteristics of products (such as being free from biocides and harmful substances, lower emissions, sustainable extraction/sourcing, environmentally-friendly, socially responsible production, recyclable).
