Our experience with resource-intensive project requirements can lower your costs and mitigate risks. We utilize comprehensive labor intelligence data and processes to ensure companies evaluate the suitability of the workforce and we offer the inclusion of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into our analysis to achieve ESG goals and empower sustainable futures.

Our Food Manufacturing Report Has Arrived
With changing consumer preferences, a strained labor pool and increased focus on sustainability, GLS takes a deep dive into the industry and reveals the best places for food manufacturing across the US.

“GLS was there for us every step of the way in finding the perfect location for our new research and development center. We had full trust in their team to represent our company with a high level of professionalism while guiding us through the site evaluation process. GLS was incredibly thorough, responsive, innovative, and built a strong relationship with us to help execute our mission of enabling the world’s transition to clean energy.”
