- Increased Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) and Days Away Case Rate (DACR) due to increased complexity of activities and number of inexperienced workers
- Supply chain disruptions due to increased climate-related regulation
- Potential flooding at Bristol Ashton Vale facility and extreme heat at three other sites
- Potential for reduced demand for LGE services under a 1.5°C warming scenario
- Need to decarbonise Devonport to meet targets
