ESG is in our DNA. And ESG is at the core of our client’s strategies. So, it is critical for our global workforce to have deep expertise on key ESG topics.

In the largest move of its kind within the consulting sector, we are training all our consultants in ESG. Each consultant will receive forty hours of post-graduate-level training from world-class universities on topics including climate change, the energy transition, circularity, and DEI. This training will help consultants as they advise clients on ESG issues, ensure that an understanding of ESG risks and opportunities is at the heart of every client brief.

We have signed partnerships with 12 universities, including MIT, HEC Paris, and the University of Melbourne, to offer ESG upskilling programs to our employees. By the end of 2022, we expect more than 3,000 employees to have participated in upskilling programs. This will be an on-going training effort, reflecting the speed with which the arena of ESG is developing.
