The EU Excellence in India programme, an initiative under the Business Support to the EU-India Policy Dialogues project seeks to champion EU business champions in India which place sustainability at the very heart of their business operations.
Under the programme, European businesses already present in India which have championed resource efficiency, circular economy, sustainable supply chains, sustainable mobility and infrastructure, renewable energy, enhancing biodiversity and corporate social responsibility (CSR), are brought together on a single platform to share best practices in the field of sustainability and opportunities to collaborate on joint projects.
The programme, which presently consists of 18 European Green Business Champions, provides opportunity, collaboration and visibility support to businesses which have signed an Expression of Interest to participate in the programme.
Under the opportunity support mechanism, signatories to the programme are presented with concrete on-the-ground project opportunities in urban local bodies (ULBs) across the country, while the collaboration support mechanism seeks to facilitate dialogue on opportunities to build synergies between business signatories and other Indian stakeholders.

The visibility support mechanism seeks to promote the sustainability initiatives undertaken by these members to a wider audience in India, thereby feeding into the opportunity and collaboration support mechanisms.
