 regulations may also negatively impact industries in which our customers operate, which in turn could have a negative impact on us.

Our business is subject to risks arising from climate change, including climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases, changes in consumer preferences and technology and physical impacts of climate change, all of which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. There has been an increased focus on climate change in response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to public health and the environment. As a result, there have been a variety of regulatory developments, proposals or requirements and legislative initiatives that have been introduced in the U.S. and other parts of the world that are focused on restricting the emission of greenhouse gases and enhancing greenhouse gas emissions disclosure requirements, including increased fuel efficiency standards, carbon taxes or cap and trade systems, restrictive permitting and incentives for renewable energy. The adoption of new or more stringent legislation or regulatory programs limiting greenhouse gas emissions from customers, particularly those in refining and petrochemical industries, for whom we provide inspection, repair and maintenance services, or reducing the demand for those customers’ products, could in turn affect demand for our products and services. Similarly, changing consumer preferences for goods or services relating to alternative sources of energy or emissions reductions and technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices or other technological advances could materially affect our customers, which in turn could negatively impact demand for our services and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Additionally, some of our customers are modifying their plants and facilities and may adopt new technology in efforts to align their operations and products with the energy transition, but there is no assurance that such modified facilities or technological advancements will require the same level of services and products that we currently provide. In addition, our manufacturing centers use electricity generated by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide. Increased energy or compliance costs and expenses as a result of any increased legal or regulatory requirements to limit and/or track greenhouse gas emissions may cause disruptions in, or an increase in the costs associated with, the manufacturing and distribution of our products.

Scientists have concluded that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere may produce physical effects of climate change, such as increased severity and frequency of storms, droughts, floods and other climate events. Such climate events have the potential to adversely affect our operations or those of our customers or suppliers, including by damaging our manufacturing facilities, disrupting our supply chain and causing our suppliers to incur significant costs in responding to such impacts, which in turn
