- Future growth and acquisitions may increase our emissions at times, temporarily exceeding our efforts to reduce them.
- Adapting to evolving net-zero standards, regulatory changes, and renewable energy market dynamics.
- Scope 3 emissions comprise a significantly larger component of our overall emissions than Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions – and are much more complex to address.
