- Supply chain disruptions due to extreme weather events.
- Decreased water supply due to droughts.
- Potential consequences of laws and public awareness demanding product circularity and improved end-of-life management.
- Difficulty in allocating emissions to different customers due to diversity of product lines and customer base.
- Limited availability of cost-effective alternatives for decarbonizing Scope 1 emissions.
