Risk analysis Risk area/description

Perspective impact Social

Climate impact (CO 2 emissions)

Our operations contribute to CO2 emissions, which have a negative impact on the climate. It would be a business risk not to reduce our CO2 emissions, because of increased demands from our customers.

Resource use

Reckless use of raw materials, electricity and water negatively impacts the environment and the economy. These risks also embrace the raw materials used, waste in production and the handling of waste in manufacturing and end use.

Materials and chemicals

Exposure to certain materials and chemicals during use can occur throughout the value chain and impact the natural environment, the working environment and people’s living environments.

Reduced faith in the brand

Not living up to legal requirements, our Code of Conduct and our stakeholders’ expectations in sustainability matters can harm our brand and our stakeholders’ faith in us.

Risks in the working environment

Within our business operations, there is a risk of accidents, injuries and illness among our employees. This can negatively affect our employee brand and our ability to recruit skills.

Culture of silence

The existence of a culture of silence creates a risk that employees don’t dare to discuss problems or report breaches of policy or our core values.

Hazardous emissions

Our operations generate noise and emissions of pollutants into the air, water and soil, which are subject to specific conditions through permits from authorities. At incidents there is a risk that we will violate these permits.

Decline of biodiversity

In and around our properties are land areas that risk constraining biodiversity and nature’s provisioning capacity if they are not used properly.

Climate-related consequences

Heavy rain can lead to a risk of flooding of production facilities, leading to a risk of long-term production loss.

Business with countries at war

Conducting business with companies in countries at war leads to both social and financial risks throughout the value chain.
