- Some waste products are currently impossible to recycle
- Increasing waste per liter of product due to faster growth in bottled product sales
- Need to gain better insights into opportunities for electricity usage reduction
- One factory unable to switch from gas heating due to grid restrictions
- Need to better understand scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services
- Difficulty in achieving 100% supplier compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct
- Difficulty in measuring sustainable product criteria
- Limited availability of non-virgin packaging materials at competitive prices
- Slower than expected progress on including disposal logos on all packaging, particularly in Czech Republic
