25 countries offering best business environment

Most reports on sustainability focus on environmental issues, but a country's sustainability depends on much more than just environmental factors, according to RobecoSAM, a Switzerland-based investment group.
It says that for a nation to safeguard its future it needs to focus on several issues, including social, economy and governance. RobecoSAM has recently released a report that ranks countries based on three factors: Environmental, social and governance. Here's how it explains them:
Environmental dimension: Nations that depend heavily on fossil fuel import are susceptible to price fluctuations and/or shortage. Natural calamities, such as floods, also add to the risk factor.
Social dimension: Strikes or unrest by workers pose a big risk to investment.
Governance dimension: Rate of corruption, internal conflict and regulations are other factors that can have an adverse impact on businesses.
Let's have a look and see where India ranks among countries offering best business and life environment.
NOTE: Each country receives a total score ranging from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
