In Fredericia, Denmark, DuPont is helping to change the way Carlsberg Group uses water to brew beer. DuPont and its partners implemented a state-of-the-art Total Water Management treatment plant at Carlsberg’s Fredericia brewery and connected processes at the wastewater plant, water recovery plant and in production. With these innovations, they reduced water consumption by 500,000m3 annually and produced biogas that accounts for 15% of the heat used on site. Recognised by the Global Water Awards in 2022, DuPont may have helped to make Fredericia the world’s most water-efficient brewery.

These burdens undermine tax certainty, increase compliance costs and weaken the EU’s attractiveness as an investment destination.

FSR compliance: complexity undermining competitiveness
The EU proposed the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) in 2021 to address foreign subsidies distorting the Single Market. Operating as a screening instrument behind merger control, it requires companies to notify the European Commission of foreign financial contributions (FFCs) they may receive when participating in public procurement or mergers and acquisitions activity.
