Social Impact
Since launching in Canada in 1993, BCG has made social impact central to our firm’s vision. We collaborate with leading Canadian organizations to shape national conversations—while staying grounded in our clients’ values and priorities.
Our teams partner with high-impact organizations and nonprofits across a wide range of urgent issues including climate solutions, talent strategies, mental health, and more. In 2013, BCG helped establish LEAP | Pecaut Centre for Social Impact, which scales proven non-profit models. Since its founding, LEAP has positively impacted the lives of nearly 7 million people across the country.
In 2024, we helped launch the Centre for Indigenous Corporate Partnerships, designed to break down barriers and create opportunities for Indigenous economic empowerment by supporting Indigenous peoples and organizations. Inspired by the proven Jawun model in Australia, CICP connects Indigenous communities with access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive on their own terms.
