- Extreme weather causing prolonged heavy rainfall may result in concentrated customer demand, heightened challenges in production and transportation scheduling. This could lead to order losses and necessitate improving production management efficiency.
- Continued rise in average temperatures due to extreme climate conditions could escalate electricity demand and lead to increased electricity prices. This might result in elevated electricity costs for the company, need to enhance energy usage efficiency.
- Government impose a carbon fee on the company in 2025 could result in increased regulatory expenses.
- Government's push for a 2050 net zero emissions policy might require the company to seek alternative energy sources to replace traditional ones, or to explore alternative fuels to replace coal.
