- Achieving Net Zero requires collaboration and transparency throughout the value chain and relies on supportive policy frameworks and infrastructure in operating countries.
- Meeting evolving compliance regulations (especially in Europe) and voluntary reporting framework thresholds.
- Measuring emissions across the value chain, particularly Scope 3 emissions from indirect sources (e.g., technology manufacturing).
- Lack of consistent measurement and reporting across stakeholders.
- Balancing business growth with emissions reduction goals.
