Products such as fa\u00e7ade systems, cladding, glazing, doors, roofing and flooring are all eligible to apply.

Eligible products are those that demonstrate a strong humanitarian effort, products that are non-harmful to the environment and people, and products that are accessible to all socio-economic communities.
