Better Health for All

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence to score any of the KPIs related to 'Better Health for All'. While mentions a 2016 community event that raised funds for a cancer hospital's needy patient fund and promoted a healthy lifestyle,

and mentions $1 million in donations from the Plexus Community Foundation, this information is not sufficient to assess the company's core business impact, the scale of its health equity programs relative to revenue, or its preventative health measures as defined by the rubric's quantitative thresholds. The sustainability reports ( and ) explicitly state a lack of specific quantitative data for health impact, harmful revenue share, safety record, price accessibility, vulnerable reach, risk transparency, health innovation investment, health externalities, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility, global health crisis response, mental health initiatives, pharma patent flexibility, nutrition and food safety, healthcare education, addiction mitigation, or clinical trial ethics.
