Sustainability in France: Market & Regulatory Overview

France is one of Europe’s most advanced markets for sustainability and ESG practices. Companies operating in France are increasingly expected to demonstrate environmental responsibility, transparent supply chains, and compliance with both national and EU regulations. Key frameworks driving sustainability in France include the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the French Energy Transition for Green Growth Act, and sector-specific requirements for construction, manufacturing, and forestry industries.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) are widely adopted across product-based industries, while FSC and PEFC certifications are essential for wood, paper, and packaging sectors. Businesses are also expected to integrate ISO-based environmental management systems and undergo EcoVadis assessments to meet both regulatory and procurement requirements.
