- Global economic pressures (high inflation and interest rates), geopolitical risks (U.S.-China conflict, conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), slowed revenue growth, decreased consumer demand.
- Rising production costs due to inflation.
- Shortage of labor market and talent gap.
- Increased energy demand leading to higher indirect emissions.
- Increased severity of extreme weather events.
