Our Commitments BCG’s company commitments are at the core of our corporate purpose. We know we can make the greatest impact through collaboration with our clients, as our diverse, global teams help organizations and governments tackle today’s most urgent challenges. But we are also on an ongoing mission to live up to our own company commitments, strengthening sustainable and ethical business practices within BCG and working day by day to help build a sustainable and inclusive future and make a difference in society. Progress in a Year of Adversity Our annual Sustainability Report details the steps we have taken—both through our client work and through the transformation of our own operations—to address important societal and environmental sustainability challenges in 2020 and to help shape a brighter future for society, business, the planet, and its 8 billion people. The 2020 Sustainability Report delineates our responsible business approach, which focuses on four key pillars: driving social impact, protecting our planet, empowering our people, and promoting responsible business practices.

Play Video Driving Social Impact We believe that the best way to overcome complex social and environmental challenges is by enriching and expanding our partnerships, fostering system-level coalitions, and transforming the influence of business in the world. This is at the heart of our social impact approach. We help our clients leverage their core business assets and operations to drive positive societal impact in ways that enhance their sustainable competitive advantage, and we do so by focusing on six key areas: Climate and Environment. Tackling climate change and respecting and restoring nature Education. Providing high-quality education and skills Global Health. Promoting healthy lives for all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Building more equitable and inclusive societies Economic Development. Accelerating inclusive growth Humanitarian Crises. Strengthening immediate response and longer-term recovery FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR SOCIAL IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICE Saving Our Planet By reducing emissions and addressing systemic threats to our climate and environment, we are not just protecting the planet but also increasing the long-term sustainability of corporations. In order to maximize our positive impact, we concentrate our environmental sustainability commitments in three domains: partnering with clients to help them realize their ambitions through BCG’s Center for Climate & Sustainability, shaping the global agenda by broadening and deepening our engagement with leading climate actors, and managing our own environmental impact. BCG’s pledge to reach net-zero climate impact by 2030, announced in 2020, represents a significant step in our internal commitment to sustainability. Here are some of our key goals in this area: BCG’s Net-Zero Strategy BCG has committed to reach net-zero climate impact by 2030 and then become climate positive—removing more carbon from the atmosphere than we emit each year.
