Community Harm
Conduct Screen Corporate Misconduct
Documented harm to specific communities from corporate operations — encompasses a wide range of localized impacts: toxic facility siting in environmental justice communities, industrial noise or vibration ruining neighborhoods (data center hum, factory noise), toxic waste dumps contaminating local water or soil, visual blight from commercial installations (billboard proliferation), displacement of residents, and systematic disregard for community health and safety. The test is localized, identifiable harm to a community from a specific operation, not diffuse environmental impact. Distinct from environmental_damage (which covers ecological harm broadly) and working_conditions (which covers employee harm).
