- Significant increase in GHG emissions due to increased production capacity.
- High water risk levels at some plants (Hefei GCL SI, Funing GCL SI, Xuzhou Xinyu).
- Climate-related risks (physical risks like climate disasters and long-term climate change, transition risks like laws and regulations, technological changes, and market changes).
