The Basque Government’s Environmental Information and Processing System - Ingurunet - manages the electronic processing of all administrative procedures regarding the environment.

The Public Environmental Management Company manages and/or processes grants and subsidies, depending on the functions delegated to Ihobe relating to the calls for applications published by the Basque Government.

The status of the grants or subsidies is linked to the application process for past or current calls for applications included in the list of grants. However, some of these grants or subsidies are still active from an administrative processing point of view, so entities can continue to carry out their procedures in the “My procedures” section.

The Basque Government’s Public Environmental Management Company has a repository where the best environmental practice developed by administrations, companies and organisations is described.

This catalogue highlights tried-and-tested models for reducing the impact of their activity and favouring sustainable development in accordance with current certification standards.
