About Buy-European.net
At Buy-European.net, we highlight European companies, products, brands, and services. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive directory of European alternatives to international businesses and offerings. By focusing on European enterprises, we support local economies and make it easier for consumers to choose products that align with European values, quality standards, and regulations.
Selection Criteria
We primarily list companies based on their headquarters' location. Publicly traded companies with international investors are not excluded as long as they are headquartered in Europe and operate under European laws.
To enhance transparency, we use labels to highlight key aspects of a company's structure. Businesses headquartered within the EU receive an "EU" badge, while companies with a non-European parent company are marked accordingly.
Companies that have been acquired by non-European entities remain eligible if they continue to operate in Europe and comply with European regulations. In the future, we plan to introduce additional quality factors, such as categorizing businesses by their level of European involvement— whether they manufacture within the EU, elsewhere in Europe, or outside the continent.
At this stage, our focus is on building a broad and diverse directory. Due to limited resources, we cannot yet conduct in-depth research or evaluations, but as we grow, we aim to provide more detailed insights and transparency.
