BCG must embrace an inclusive, truly equitable workplace that fosters diverse perspectives if we want to accelerate innovation, strengthen resilience, and enable the firm’s purpose to unlock the potential of those who advance the world.
BCG’s inaugural diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) report is an effort to openly and transparently share a snapshot of the progress we’ve made—where we are at this point in the journey and where we’ve committed to go. Our leaders, staff, and business partners are energized to make a real and sustained difference in DEI at BCG.
We recognize the corporate environment in which we play a critical role. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion report is a statement of our public commitment to transparency, an invitation for continued dialogue, and the standard by which we will be held accountable as our DEI journey continues.
BCG will not waver in continuing to create an environment in which colleagues of all backgrounds are accepted and celebrated. It will take all of us at BCG—diverse teams drive innovation and better results for our clients, and inclusive leaders are critical to unlocking the potential of our diverse teams.”
BCG is deeply committed to bring a catalytic resource to helping our clients drive more equitable strategies from closing the racial wealth gap to vaccine distribution to criminal justice reform. We have the capability to reach across both the public and private sectors to bring rigorous problem solving to seemingly intractable challenges.”
We continue to learn, experiment, and adapt our DEI approach to accelerate our impact. I am particularly excited about the innovations underway to make our core people processes better tuned to support the success of all our diverse communities within BCG. We are on track and committed to deliver measurable results.”
If we are to overcome centuries of systemic inequity, we must embrace inclusive and antiracist ideals, dismantle institutionalized practices, and amplify effective initiatives. Being bold and resolute is part of who we are as a firm, and we know it is needed for change—within and beyond BCG.”
At BCG, I have worked alongside other members of Pride@BCG and other diversity networks on every project. Seeing there was already space for diverse voices in the room made me feel more confident about sharing my perspective.”
BCGers are problem solvers at our core. With our collective talent, the right partnerships, and the right focus, we have the opportunity to provide a different lens on how to identify and address the systemic racism plaguing our society.”
At BCG, data is at the core of what we do, from the services we offer to the way we design our DEI efforts—and those of our clients. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in areas such as gender equality, particularly among our Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx talent.
The time to act is now. At BCG, we believe in bold solutions and are committed to unwavering action. We are on a journey to create an inclusive environment both within the firm and beyond, as we work with external partners to tackle these issues and influence change.
While this year’s report focuses on racial equity, our DEI work supports individuals and communities across a broad range of cultures and identities. The strategy spans three pillars.
BCG seeks to grow a diverse firm with equity and inclusion at our core. Our efforts have focused on accelerating the representation of underrepresented minorities in our firm, including driving retention and growing diverse leadership, as well as fostering accountability by measuring progress against clear objectives.
At BCG, we use our unique position in the business community—engaging with corporations, education institutions, governments, and the social sector—to advance the pursuit of DEI with our clients as well as strengthen our supplier diversity program.
We deploy our talent and resources to spark broader social change. Over the next five years, we’re committing more than $100 million in pro-bono talent resources and direct donations to support organizations addressing racial injustice and inequality in the US.
