Policy & Legal Risk
M L
Carbon pricing exposure in USA, China,
Germany and Spain
Fines and/or compliance measures:
· Clean electrification of operations;
· Emissions intensive equipment phase-out;
· Circular economic and materials efficiency
strategies;
· Net-zero carbon building standards;
· Mandatory energy management systems
and audits
Carbon pricing exposure in USA, China,
Germany, Spain, and Saudi Arabia
Increased fines and compliance measures
related to:
· Phase-outs aligned with Nationaly
Determined Contributions (NDC);
· Renewable energy sourcing;
· Material efficiency standards (minimum
recycled content for packaging, and
enhanced vechicle air quality)
Some regional carbon pricing exposure in
China, Germany and Spain
Technology Risk
S M
Capital expenditures to subsitute emissions
intensive technologies
Declining price point competitiveness
caused by decarbonization pass through
costs
R&D costs to transition to design and deploy
lower-emissions technologies
Slower substitution of materials with lower-
emission options
Market Risk
S M
Declining redundant supply and sourcing
more sustainably causes raw material costs
to rise
Customers demand to lower their scope 3
emissions from purchased goods and
services across all markets
Increasing competition from existing and
unforeseen polymer and non-polymer-
based products that reduce further impact
on climate
Customer behaviors from advanced
economies demand lower carbon products
Rising degree of uncertainty in raw material
prices
Slow customer behavior changes in some
advanced economies
High degree of uncertainty in energy market
signals
Reputation Risk
L
Chemical sector or certain petrochemical
materials (i.e., plastics) stigmatized
Rising expectations for rapid innovation and
displacement of older, heavily carbon-
intensive designs and manufacturing
processes
NDC countries expected to innovate and
seek rapid minimization of customers' scope
3 emissions
Increased concern from stakeholders for not
addressing climate change globally or for
the chemicals sector
Acute & Chronic Risk
L
Possible direct damage to fixed assets and
logistics disruptions in both our value chain
and operations
More frequent and intense weather events
and changing preciptation patterns are likely
to damage manufaturing faciliites, disrupt
logistics and sourcing activities, and
negatively affect employee health and
communities where we operate
More frequent and intense weather events
and changing preciptation patterns are likely
to affect the performance of grids and

Efficiency
Opportunity
S M L
More efficient production and distribution
processes, reduced natural resource usage,
continued use of recycling, and inclusion of
recycled materials in our products such as
reSound
TM
R, ColorMatrix™ Capture™
Oxygen Scavenger, among others will
contribute to increasing product revenues
and reduced operating costs
Resource efficiency efforts supported by
capital allocation in NDC countries is more
likely and may accelerate a path toward
maximizing ROI and reducing operating
costs
Less regulatory and pressure to incentivize
may cause gains from efforts to lag
Energy Source
Opportunity
M L
Use of greater external financing options,
such as operating lease arrangements or
energy performance shared savings
contracts, to source lower emission-energy
and new technologies, such as carbon
capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), in our
operations may reduce operating costs and
maximize returns on investment
Use of lower emission-sources of energy in
operations will lower operating costs and
contribute toward reductions of our scope 1
and 2 emissions and product carbon
intensities
Use of renewable energy, increased
efficiency, and electrification initiatives will
lower operating costs and contribute toward
reductions of our scope 1 and 2 emissions
and product carbon intensities.

THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
