The effective management of risks across the whole enterprise is an absolute priority in today’s environment. This applies not only to our client organizations but also within BCG.
More than ever before, our stakeholders— our clients and staff, the business community, regulators, and the general public—rightly expect professional services firms to demonstrate strong professional ethics. As trusted advisors, we have a responsibility to maintain the highest of professional standards—and to demonstrate to our clients that we are doing so.
BCG’s organization includes a dedicated team of experts responsible for the oversight of risk management and professional standards worldwide. Our enterprise risk agenda is spearheaded by the Chief Risk Officer, who works directly with BCG’s global and regional leadership and prioritizes and channels our risk management efforts across each of our functions, locations, and practices. We also continuously invest to enhance our processes, including managing legal risk, ensuring rigorous information management, and ensuring the security of our people.
With this structure in place, we can be specific in our expectations and explicit in putting our values into practice through our professional standards, even in the most challenging environments.
