1 IRELAND THE LOCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

2 IRELAND HAS ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN AS A LOCATION FOR INVESTMENT BY MAJOR FOOD AND DRINK COMPANIES LIKE DANONE, COCA-COLA, PEPSICO, ABBOTT, DIAGEO, FERRERO, CADBURY, ARYZTA AND MANY OTHERS.

3 SOME OF THE WORLD S BIGGEST BRANDS HAVE MADE IRELAND THE HUB OF THEIR EUROPEAN ACTIVITIES. IRELAND IS PROBABLY THE MOST OPEN ECONOMY IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD, AND HAS BEEN ATTRACTING MOBILE INVESTMENT FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. OVER 1,000 COMPANIES, INCLUDING SOME OF THE BIGGEST BRANDS IN THE WORLD, HAVE PUT IRELAND AT THE HUB OF THEIR EUROPEAN ACTIVITIES, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WORLD- BEATING RETURN ON INVESTMENT THAT IRELAND OFFERS. Ireland is a welcoming, probusiness environment for highvalue manufacturing, global business services and research, development and innovation. Enterprise Ireland works with companies in the food, beverage and natural resources sectors to find ideal locations, to grow and develop their businesses, and to integrate with the world-class food research and development infrastructure that exists here. 01

4 QUALITY INGREDIENTS HAVE ATTRACTED THREE OF THE WORLD S TOP PRODUCERS OF INFANT MILK FORMULA TO CHOOSE IRELAND AS A MANUFACTURING BASE, FROM WHICH THEY SUPPLY 10% OF THE WORLD S EXPORTS DANONE, ABBOTT AND PFIZER IRELAND IS A PREMIUM FOOD PRODUCER WITH BIG AMBITION. IRELAND IS RENOWNED FOR THE QUALITY OF ITS FOOD AND DRINK. OUR CLEAN, GREEN ENVIRONMENT AND LUSH LANDSCAPE PROVIDE THE WORLD S BEST INGREDIENTS. The majority of Irish milk produced is from fresh green grass, livestock are predominantly grass-fed, there s a long growing season and a temperate climate, all of which foster quality over quantity. The food and drink sectors are strategically important to Ireland s economic future. This future includes strong growth in primary and value-added output. For example, between 2015 and 2020, milk output will grow by 50% - that s an additional 2.5 billion litres of milk per year, offering huge potential for new valueadded dairy processing in Ireland to feed growing global demand. 02

5 IRELAND S FOOD AND DRINK INDUSTRIES ARE SUSTAINABLE. THE ISLAND OF IRELAND HAS A POPULATION OF: 4.6 MILLION PEOPLE IT PRODUCES ENOUGH BEEF FOR: 30 MILLION PEOPLE PER ANNUM & PRODUCES ENOUGH DAIRY FOR: 50 MILLION PEOPLE PER ANNUM GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS PER KG OF MILK Agriculture in Ireland is based on generations of familyrun farms and co-operative enterprises. This heritage means that food production is deeply ingrained in Ireland s culture Ireland Italy France UK Germany EU27 average Netherlands Denmark Source: EU Commission JRC, 2011 Rigorous standards in animal welfare, quality, traceability, food safety and disease control are in place and support large-scale production, and can sustain future growth in the sector. Ireland s environment and natural resource base makes food production sustainable and environmentally friendly the carbon footprint of Irish food production is among the best in the EU. DANONE GROUP VIEW IRELAND AS A GOOD PLACE TO DO BUSINESS. IT HAS AN OPEN ECONOMY, PEOPLE WITH A CAN-DO AND FLEXIBLE ATTITUDE, AND ABOVE ALL OUR IRISH OPERATIONS HAVE CONSISTENTLY DELIVERED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY YEAR-ON-YEAR. Donal Dennehy Head of Operations Nutricia Infant Nutrition Ltd (Danone Baby Nutrition) 03

The competitiveness of Ireland has also improved since 2008, with reductions in real labour costs and business costs including energy, private rents, office rents, services and construction. 04

7 IRELAND HAS INVESTED IN CREATING THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR FOOD AND DRINKS INDUSTRIES. IRELAND HAS PROVEN TO BE AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR OUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CENTRE, DUE TO THE HIGHLY SKILLED TALENT AVAILABLE AND THE FAVOURABLE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS OUR R&D ACTIVITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. Tom Mulqueen VP Global Operations Pfizer Nutrition ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK, IRELAND RANKS 10TH OUT OF 183 COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD FOR EASE OF DOING BUSINESS, AND FIRST IN THE EUROZONE. In research and development, the Irish state has invested in an advanced infrastructure - led by industry - to create breakthrough innovation. For example in dairy, Ireland has made a significant investment in building capability in the form of Food for Health Ireland, a pioneering industryled research collaboration focussed on mining of milk for new functional ingredients. The sub-supply base that has grown up around the food, biopharma and ICT sectors in Ireland also means that services for building and operating the most modern and efficient manufacturing plants in the world are available in Ireland. 05
