Statement on Slavery and Human Trafficking
Huron Consulting Group Inc. is a global professional services firm committed to achieving sustainable results in partnership with our clients. We bring a depth of expertise in strategy, operations, advisory services, technology, and analytics to drive lasting and measurable results in the healthcare, higher education, life sciences and commercial sectors. As a leading consulting firm, we are committed to upholding the highest moral, ethical, and legal standards in everything we do. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reinforces and enhances this commitment by setting out the standards and expectations regarding individual and business conduct. These expectations require our employees to demonstrate ethical leadership and promote a work environment that upholds our reputation for integrity, ethical conduct, and trust. Further, we encourage employees to report any behaviors or activities that they believe to be unethical or unlawful to senior management, the Legal Department or through the company’s 24-hour Helpline.
Because of the nature of the services we provide as well as the policies and procedures in place that govern employee conduct, we consider ourselves to be at low risk of slavery, unlawful child labor or human trafficking existing within our own business. Regarding our supply chains, we make little use of services demanding unskilled labor and those products and services we use are sourced from reputable suppliers. In addition, our vendors are screened against a database comprised of information from approximately 50 government agencies to determine if any sanctions have been imposed on the vendor. We will remain vigilant to minimize any exposure to the risk of slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain and will periodically assess our vendor contracts and sourcing processes to ensure that our zero tolerance towards slavery, unlawful child labor and human trafficking is upheld.
