In 2024, Huron Consulting reported total carbon emissions of approximately 10,653,550 kg CO2e. This figure includes 476,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,080,470 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 9,096,680 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents an increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 10,255,730 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 539,750 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,030,290 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 8,685,690 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Huron's emissions have fluctuated, with a notable peak in 2019 at approximately 24,220,900 kg CO2e. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. Huron Consulting's emissions data is sourced directly from Huron Consulting Group Inc. and reflects its operational footprint without any external climate pledges or initiatives reported. Overall, Huron Consulting's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of its carbon footprint. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy moving forward.
