Making an impact is a common thread that unites everyone at Bain – whether through case work, externships, local initiatives, or life outside the company.

• Casework: At any given time, we are working on hundreds of cases around the world that are fully or partially focused on ESG. We have embedded ESG in 100% of our private equity due diligence projects. We aspire to, over time, embed ESG in 100% of our work.
• Externships: Employees are given the opportunity to participate in a six-month externship with an organization of their choice. And many Bainies choose to extern at organizations that advance environmental and social impact. Recent externship placements, for example, have included Acumen, The Bridgespan Group, KIPP, The Nature Conservancy, OneTen, World Economic Forum and World Food Programme.
• Local initiatives: Bainies can also make an impact by joining local efforts. Some 44 offices have Green Teams focused on reducing our environmental footprint and supporting sustainability initiatives. We have eight affinity groups where Bainies can find communities that amplify their life experiences, beliefs, and stories. There’s also Inspire, a volunteer organization that invites consultants from Bain and three other leading firms to complete cases with mission-driven organizations.

Here are some of the stories we heard from Bainies building a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world:

The global challenges we face are urgent and complex. We recognize Bain’s responsibility to lead in finding solutions. As we implement these commitments, we will report transparently on our progress. We look forward to continuing to partner with our clients and mobilize our teams on these critical issues, while making a positive impact on our environment and in our communities – so we can all go Further together.
