2. Supply-chain Impact

• Indirect Energy Sector Impact: Increased operational risk from social instability in California's refining industry and natural gas transportation networks
• Supply-chain Diversity Policies: Rising ESG issue sensitivity expected to strengthen corporate supplier selection criteria and delay due diligence processes
