Benefits

• Regulatory risks

Stringent regulations without proactive actions

• Reputational risks

• Market and product risks

Competitive advantage and added value

• Cost reductions

Energy saving, reduction in resource use, etc.

• Operational risks

Supply chain is depending on resources

Indirect emissions could increase costs

• Financing risks
