Green Enterprise challenges organisations and companies to produce goods and provide services in more environmentally friendly ways, and to minimise emissions through cleaner production methods. The objective is to achieve a balance between economic and social activity and environmental protection.

A call for proposals is usually made in the late spring, which is advertised in the Irish Times and on the Environmental Protection Agency website. Applicants are usually notified in the early autumn if they have been successful or not.
