Economic challenges include the diversification and upgrading of pulp and paper products, and the increase in value-added products. In terms of the environment, the government, NGOs, customers and the community have all put forward their higher expectations of us. In terms of society, we are facing how to better protect the rights and interests of our employees, consumers and the community.
