- Achieving carbon neutrality by 2035 due to complexities of renewable and non-renewable energy use, fossil fuels, PFCs, and HTFs, and increased semiconductor production.
- Measuring Scope 3 emissions due to the complexity of the entire value chain and assumptions on product use.
- Maintaining compliance with evolving regulations and customer requirements for product responsibility and human rights.
