Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Critics point to Huron Consulting Group's CEO-to-median employee pay ratio of approximately 59:1, with median employee pay around $111,032, while this is noted as aligning with industry benchmarks. Comprehensive data on other worker metrics like living wage or pay equity is unavailable. On environmental impact, Huron's 2022 ESG report and DitchCarbon score of 40 (above industry average) are noted. However, reports suggest emissions increased from 2022 to 2024, and specific environmental targets or detailed data are lacking. While technology solutions are core, public disclosures on AI ethics and cybersecurity investments are not readily available. Many other ethical areas lack sufficient public information for a full assessment.
