- Resource scarcity (water, energy)
- Climate change risks to supply chains and production
- Legal requirements and associated costs (e.g., Supply Chain Due Diligence Act)
- Shortage of skilled workers
- Human rights violations in the supply chain (low probability, but high impact)
- Energy-intensive electroplating process
- Gas-based generation of process-related heat
