Ethical Profile

Mixed.

HEICO Corporation receives a mixed ethical rating. Critics point to its significant involvement in the defense sector, with reports suggesting 25% of its revenue is derived from manufacturing electronic equipment for defense systems. The company also faced a data breach in April 2023, where internal business documents were allegedly stolen. While HEICO states it contained the incident and implements security measures like employee training, encryption, and vulnerability assessments, the breach highlights cybersecurity challenges. On a positive note, its Flight Support Group's repair services contribute to extending aircraft component lifespans, aiding waste reduction, and one subsidiary holds ISO 14001 certification.
