- Reducing Scope 1 emissions, specifically natural gas for heating. Electrification will need to be addressed to achieve Net Zero Scope 1 and 2.
- Collecting Scope 3 emissions (a complex process of continuous improvement measuring indirect upstream and downstream emissions outside of RWC’s direct control).
- Talent sustainability and increasing skills shortages.
