Ethical Profile

Mixed.

National Health Investors (NHI) demonstrates a mixed ethical profile. The company stands out for its CEO-to-median worker pay ratio, reported at 12:1 in 2023, significantly lower than the S&P 500 average of 268:1. Median employee compensation was $174,444. NHI also maintains an EthicsPoint program for reporting concerns and has increased female board representation from 0% to 37.5%. As a real estate investment trust, its direct impact on health outcomes, environmental practices, and supply chain ethics is inherently limited, with many areas lacking specific data for comprehensive assessment.
