• {{risk_focus}}: Specific areas to focus on (e.g., suppliers, transportation, waste disposal, energy consumption).
• {{industry}}: The industry context (optional, for benchmarking).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided operations to identify potential environmental risks, considering likelihood and potential consequences.
3. For each risk, provide a risk rating (e.g., high, medium, low) based on likelihood and impact.
4. Recommend specific mitigation measures for each identified risk, prioritizing based on urgency and feasibility.
5. If industry is provided, incorporate relevant regulations and best practices.

Output format Present a risk assessment matrix with columns: Risk, Likelihood, Impact, Risk Rating, Mitigation Measures, and Priority. Include a brief summary of key findings and recommendations.

• Stay within the scope of the provided operations.
• Flag any risks that require specialized expertise or further investigation.
