- Shortage of quantitative and qualitative workforce
- International geopolitical situation, effects of the war in Ukraine, inflation, and economic problems
- Unpredictable quantitative availability of raw materials
- Supply chain disruptions and delays
- Customers increasingly favoring products with sustainable packaging
- High cost of decarbonizing industries
- Climate change physical risks (heat stress, heavy precipitation, drought, wildfires, changes in mean temperature)
- Climate change transition risks (policy changes, regulatory changes, customer demand, technology)
