Risks and opportunities

• Tighter chemical substance control regulations in major developed countries
• Increased product value through comprehensive action prior to legislation before and during the early stages of material development 
• Increased risks of accidents due to the increase in production sites, production volume, and operating hours
• Escalation of human rights risks resulting from the expansion of the supply chain and increases in the importance of lifecycle assessments
• Further risk reduction through RBA audits and ISO 45001 certification
