Prices of energy and other resources will increase due tothe impact of climate change, which will in turn a?ect theprocurement costs of fuel and raw materials, resulting inincreased costs and other risks.Reputation
Concerns of stakeholdersregarding climate changemeasures
Investors and other stakeholders, as well as the public,will pay more attention to the company's response toclimate change measures, and may even consider it akey factor in evaluating the company's performance. Thiscould potentially pose reputation risks to the company,and resources need to be invested to strengthen carbonmanagement in order to meet their expectations.
