Better Health for All

ICF International, Inc. generates 37% of its revenue from the health sector, providing services that support public health surveillance, disease prevention, and crisis response.

The company's work on the CDC BioSense Digital Platform monitors health effects of disease, addiction, and hazardous conditions, processing 6-8 million electronic health messages daily from 5,800 facilities across 47 states and Washington, D.C. ICF also supports the CDC's 'Ending the HIV Epidemic' initiative and the DEA 360 Strategy to combat opioid misuse, with an opioid awareness campaign reaching 80% of its target audience and leading 27% of those exposed to intend to avoid prescription opioids. The company's health research and survey services are certified to ISO 20252:2019/2020. There is no evidence of revenue from products or activities with negative health outcomes. However, the company mentions adherence to the Privacy Act, HIPAA, and Common Rule for OMB Paperwork Reduction Act as 'considerations' for the BioSense platform, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive or industry-leading approach to data responsibility.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

ICF International, Inc. is a global consulting and technology services provider, not a financial institution that offers lending or deposit services to consumers. The company's core business involves advisory, implementation, digital modernization, and analytics solutions to government and commercial clients. The provided articles describe ICF's work on energy efficiency contracts

and building applications for government grants and loans, but do not contain any specific, concrete data points related to consumer financial products or services. Therefore, all KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value, which are designed for financial institutions, are not applicable and lack relevant evidence for scoring.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In 2024, ICF International's CEO-to-median employee pay ratio was 79:1.

CEO John Wasson's total compensation was $7,174,545, while the median employee earned $91,189.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

ICF International, Inc. is described as a global consulting and technology services provider.

The provided articles detail ICF's work in securing contracts with the U.S. Department of Labor to provide research support services and combat forced and child labor in global supply chains. This indicates ICF's role is to assist other entities with ethical sourcing challenges, rather than being a company that procures or trades physical commodities itself. Therefore, KPIs related to the sourcing of physical goods, such as fair-trade certification share and spend on high-risk materials, are not applicable to ICF's business model.

Honest & Fair Business

The provided articles describe ICF's governance structure, code of ethics, and commitment to ethical conduct, including an ethics and compliance program with a code of conduct, training, and an anonymous ethics hotline.

However, both articles explicitly state that they lack the specific quantitative data points necessary to assess performance against any of the defined KPIs in the rubric, such as regulatory fines, transparency index scores, details on whistleblower policy strength, financial restatements, audit coverage, ESG controversy scores, complaint resolution times, board conflict percentages, anti-corruption policy details, or third-party verification of ethical claims.

Kind to Animals

ICF International, Inc. is a global consulting and technology services provider. The company's core business model does not involve animal-derived products, animal testing, animal husbandry, or animal agriculture, making many KPIs not applicable. While ICF provides services related to habitat conservation planning, species recovery, and ecosystem modeling, and has received two $25,000 grants from the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund for work protecting Siberian and Grey Crowned Cranes.

The articles do not provide specific, measurable biodiversity impact metrics directly attributable to ICF's own initiatives or a percentage of its revenue invested in conservation. Similarly, while ICF supports coordinated efforts of NGOs and Village Community Associations in 4 countries to promote endangered shorebird protection and coordinates with various government agencies on habitat conservation, there is no evidence of active engagement in animal welfare policy improvement or advocacy for higher standards. The company is also conducting a study for the European Commission on biodiversity credits.

No War, No Weapons

ICF International, Inc. was awarded a $1.4 billion contract by the Department of Defense for applications and data services modernization, to be performed over five years, as of July 25, 2024.

Based on the company's 2024 revenue of $2.02 billion, the annualized value of this contract ($280 million) represents approximately 13.86% of its annual revenue. The company also holds other contracts with the Department of the Army and Navy, including for defensive cyber operations and information warfare, though specific revenue figures for these were not provided.

Planet-Friendly Business

In 2023, the company's total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions were 12,948 tCO2e (0.012948 M tCO2e), with Scope 3 business travel being the largest component at 8,633 tCO2e.

This level of emissions is below 0.5 M tCO2e. The company has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 23% from a 2018 baseline by 2025, and by 63.19% by 2030. Scope 3 emissions are targeted for a 30% reduction per benefits-eligible employee by 2025 and 58.5% by 2030. The company conducts climate-related scenario analyses, including 1.5°C, 2°C, and business-as-usual pathways, to assess financial risk exposure. However, only 18% of TCFD-supporting energy companies report such analyses, indicating a gap in reporting within the industry, not necessarily for ICF itself. The company's DitchCarbon score is 45, which is higher than 96% of its industry average.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

ICF's Code of Ethics is available for download in multiple languages, including Arabic, Armenian, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.

Additionally, for a European Commission campaign, Twitch videos were subtitled in multiple languages to ensure accessibility across nine target countries. Regarding cultural training, ICF mandates continuous ethical education and training for all credentialed ICF professionals, and ICF accredited coaching education programs are required to provide ethics training. ICF Global also offers four diversity workshops annually specifically for ICF chapter leaders. The company made $948K in corporate donations and matching funds, and $805K in employee donations, with community focus areas in 2024 including disaster relief, strengthening communities and families, and advancing research for life-threatening conditions. No specific percentage of revenue was donated to cultural heritage organizations.

Safe & Smart Tech

ICF International, Inc. holds several recognized privacy and security certifications, including ISO 27001, SSAE 18 Service Organization Control 2 (SOC2), and Cyber Essentials Plus, and complies with NIST guidelines.

The company conducts annual third-party security assessments, including penetration testing and red team drills. However, critical vulnerabilities are patched within 21-30 days on average.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

ICF International, Inc. has no waste disposal violations in the past three years. The company has established company-wide waste reduction targets with specific timelines.

It requires regular suppliers to commit to environmental awareness, and office supply vendors must include sustainable products. Additionally, ICF's UK offices have been certified to ISO 14001 since 2012.
