- Supply chain disruptions related to the availability of raw materials and components.
- Fluctuation in absolute Scope 3 emissions due to the type of machines ordered by customers and the availability of zero-emission energy in different markets.
- Achieving further improvements in energy efficiency of products (already a frontrunner).
