- Relatively low capacity utilization in 2023 due to customer inventory adjustments, resulting in higher electricity consumption and water withdrawal per unit wafer than the annual management goal.
- Extreme weather events (extreme precipitation and droughts, changes in rainfall patterns and distribution, average rainfall changes).
- Transition risks (renewable energy regulations, increase in the cost of greenhouse gas emissions, investment in new technology, uncertainty in market signals, changing customer behavior, impact on company reputation).
