High G-score (72) reflects systemic environmental harm potential from weakened enforcement: reduced regulatory violations accountability (5), likely increasing emissions trajectory (4) as deterrence weakens, and disclosure gaps (4) from reduced oversight. Triple severity multipliers (1.3 each) for breaking policy change, industry-wide scale, and willful policy shift. Low C-score (15) as this is policy announcement, not sustainability claim - minimal ambition metrics and low amplification despite executive involvement. Clear List R classification: environmental harm dominates with G-C spread of +57.
