- Climate-related physical risks (flooding, high temperature, extreme cold, extreme weather)
- Climate-related transition risks (carbon tariffs, enhanced carbon emission reporting, increased procurement costs for low-carbon raw materials)
- Reputational risk from failure to meet carbon reduction targets
- Shortage of tradable carbon resources and rising carbon prices
