- Low demand in the global notebook market, resulting in a 7.46% decrease in revenue.
- Potential fire hazard caused by lack of cleaning of the exhaust hood in the corporate cafeteria.
- Enhanced emissions-reporting obligations and increased pricing of GHG emissions.
- Potential risks from extreme weather events, changes in rainfall patterns, rising mean temperatures, and rising sea levels.
- Transition risks related to policy and legal changes, product and service requirements, market shifts, and increased cost of raw materials.
- Potential risks of losing hiring quotas and fines due to issues with work visas or expired documents for migrant workers.
