- Resource acquisition and supply guarantee risks (scarce bauxite resources, strict mine safety and environmental protection approvals)
- Safety and environmental risks (high-risk industries, old enterprises with high energy consumption and large emissions)
- International operation risks (fluctuations in supply due to local policy changes and strikes, uncertainties in external regulatory changes)
- Market changes and market competition risks (price fluctuations, market share competition)
- Dual carbon and energy use structure risks (high carbon emissions, limited space for reducing emissions, low profit margin for recycled aluminum utilization)
