Alignment Healthcare presents a mixed ethical picture. Employee satisfaction is a concern; Glassdoor reviews average 2.7/5, with only 30% of employees recommending the company. The CEO to median employee pay ratio stands at 90:1. Conversely, the company shows strong positive impacts on member health, reporting double-digit reductions in hospitalizations and a 48% decrease in ER visits. Members also saw a 1.5-point average reduction in blood sugar, with 91% of pharmacy claims costing $10 or less. Environmentally, Alignment Healthcare reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 17% (2022-2023) and shipping emissions by 50%, partly through 600 metric tons of CO2 reduction from telehealth. Critics point to a lack of comprehensive public environmental targets. HITRUST certification is maintained for data security.
