- Climate change risks (transition risks from strengthened carbon neutrality policies, increased renewable energy procurement costs, stricter greenhouse gas emission regulations, reduced transportation emissions, lack of eco-friendly certifications, and expansion of renewable energy supply certificates (REC) system; physical risks from changes in production land, sea-level rise, and global temperature increase).
- Supply chain disruptions.
- Customer complaints and product liability issues.
- Maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
- Ensuring human rights throughout the value chain.
