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
