- Increased water consumption and intensity in 2021 due to business growth and product mix changes
- Increased waste intensity and overall waste generation in 2021 due to business growth
- Increased lost-time accident rate in 2021, potentially due to pandemic-related fatigue and distraction
- Challenges in assessing Scope 3 emissions
