A Social Credit System is a national government-facilitated rating system that rewards corporations for good behaviour and sanctions them for bad behaviour. These scores can be given by members of the public, and the government based on their perceptions of corporate actions. Based on these scores, the government can apply rewards (e.g. favourable interest rates, prioritised access to land auctions, government contracts etc.) and sanctions (e.g. higher tax rate, penalty fee, freezing of license to operate, etc.)
