In the 2023 financial year, we intend to conduct a scenario analysis with multiple scenarios to further understand the impact that climate change could have on our business, including physical and transition risks. In addition to assessing risks, we will look to consider climate-related opportunities, especially with regard to supporting our customers in the development of green electronics.
