Although uncertainties remain as to what the recovery of global economic activity will look like, the optimization of a company’s physical footprint now appears to be an essential driver to companies’ concerns.

In brief
  • Does our industrial footprint minimize the risk of a break in the supply chain in a pandemic situation?
  • As we continually rationalize costs and improve processes, should we consider opening a shared services center? 
  • Should the virtualization of working methods via remote working raise questions about our location strategy? 

The decisions leading to such strategic choices are based on numerous factors, particularly economic potential, access to key competencies, the quality of local infrastructure, risk management, and the proximity of end markets.

To assist organizations in the search for their optimal location(s), EY’s International Location Advisory Services (ILAS) team publishes an annual series of reports on countries and cities that illustrate the many location possibilities.

Ce qu'il faut retenir

Every year, worldwide, 15,000 companies locate activities abroad. Approximately one-third of foreign investors carry out benchmarks between locations.

The decision to operate in a certain location is strategic for any company involved.

Location selection is a trade-off between cost attractiveness, operational quality (talent availability, infrastructure, business environment, etc.) and overall risk mitigation.

In the search for the optimum manufacturing locations, we have prepared a series of factsheets to highlight the attractiveness of potential locations for establishing a manufacturing unit.
