| Finding | Severity | Status | Governance |
|---|---|---|---|

ESG-E1-011 · ESG & Sustainability Scope 3 Category 1 relies on spend-based estimates for 54% of spend Supplier-specific data covers 46% of purchased goods spend. The remainder uses EEIO factors, limiting accuracy and assurance comfort. | Medium | Open | |
GE-PT-003 · Global Expansion Pillar Two top-up tax exposure under UAE scenario The UAE free-zone scenario produces a GloBE ETR of 9.4%, implying top-up tax that erodes 61% of the modelled incentive benefit. | Medium | In review | |
ESG-E1-004 · ESG & Sustainability Estimated Scope 2 consumption at three EU sites Three EU sites report Scope 2 using floor-area intensity estimates rather than metered data. | Low | Remediating |
