Our Operating Principles

What it means to be a Bainie.

At Bain, our Operating Principles have defined how we work and who we aspire to be for more than 30 years. We have refreshed them as needed to adapt to changes in our firm and in the world around us, but they remain remarkably consistent as an expression of the actions and beliefs that power our extraordinary teams and the reason that Bain is consistently voted a best place to work.
