Material ESG Topics
Which ESG topics are most material for manufacturing companies?
Export Exposure Runs Through Input Materials, Not Just Finished Goods
A manufacturer's carbon exposure often starts with the steel, aluminium or chemical inputs it buys, not just what it ships, so carbon border costs can hit a business even if it never directly exports. Managing this means tracing carbon through the supply chain, not just at the factory gate.
