Samsung Workplace Health Failures and Cancer Exposure Acknowledgment

Summary

Samsung acknowledged workplace health failures and apologized to workers who developed cancers linked to chemical exposure in semiconductor factories.

Score Rationale

High G-score (72) driven by severe toxic chemical exposure causing worker cancers (toxic_releases=5, regulatory_violations=5), significant disclosure gaps (4), and company-wide scale with willful accountability pattern (both 1.3 multipliers). Manufacturing sector baseline. Very low C-score (8) as this is an acknowledgment/apology, not a sustainability claim - minimal ambition, no promotional amplification, and low intent indicators. Clear List R classification: environmental/health harm dominates with 64-point gap over claim prominence.
