- Scope 3 emissions accounting is challenging.
- Data collection and consolidation for certain metrics (e.g., water consumption) is ongoing.
- Balancing innovation with market demands and operational stability during the transition to lower-emission technologies.
- Limitations in the availability of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
