Many locations across Europe may be suitable for your regional headquarters, shared service centers, manufacturing, warehousing or R&D facilities. But do they also support your ESG strategies?
In this 2024 edition of Site Selection for Life Sciences Companies in Europe, we compare European countries based on their general business environment, infrastructure, innovation, R&D, availability of skilled personnel and other critical factors. But we also look at factors relevant to the efficient implementation of a company's ESG strategy, such as the availability of green energy, wastewater treatment, gender equality, work-life balance, public transportation and corruption. The presence or absence of such factors can be important for companies planning to efficiently support their ESG strategies. EU reporting requirements such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Directive (CSRD) are also explained.
But the EU and various European countries are not only implementing new regulations related to the "European Green Deal", they have also implemented many different programs that support life sciences companies in their growth ambitions. In this report, you'll find an overview of such programs at the EU level.
