- Supply chain disruptions due to climate events (e.g., extreme weather, flooding)
- Transitioning to lower emissions technology (e.g., decarbonising the HGV fleet)
- Product obsolescence (e.g., gas boilers)
- Changing customer behaviour
- Lack of design-visibility upfront causing challenges in planning, financing, legislation and sustainability for regional house builders.
