Goodwill Impairment Potential Goodwill balances in Metal Packaging EMEA and Global Paper Products APAC units are at risk if future performance does not meet management expectations.
Regulatory Compliance Complexity Evolving ESG regulations and data privacy laws increase compliance costs and complexity across international operating jurisdictions.
