Our Aspiration
Our Aspiration
- We will assess the financial, ESG and innovation impact of all our projects.
- Every one of our teams will strive to have maximum impact on ESG results.
Sustainability is a complex journey, but we are determined to help companies move forward. We are committed to defining the value we create in economic, environmental and social terms.
Every one of our case teams works to maximize positive ESG impact, while also reflecting profit and other business considerations. Whether it's preparing a leading auto manufacturer for the circular economy or designing sustainable packaging for a cosmetics giant, our people are steadfastly committed to meaningful results. We structure dialogues with our clients that highlight ESG considerations alongside other dimensions. We facilitate debates about what is feasible. And we work creatively in partnership with our clients to find new and innovative solutions.
Our Progress
of the ENR cases completed in 2021 reported explicit ESG impact
To better understand the holistic effect of our work, we launched a pilot program tracking all our case teams in the Energy & Natural Resources (ENR) industry. We asked our teams to rate the impact of the work on three dimensions – financial, ESG and innovation. More than 70% of the ENR cases completed in 2021 reported ESG impact. We will continue to innovate on impact measurement and will launch new tools and approaches by the end of 2022.
Our Client Work
Building a winning offshore wind business
An oil and gas company with a global footprint – and ambitious renewable energy growth targets –engaged Bain to build an offshore wind strategy. We identified optimization opportunities for our client's offshore wind projects and designed a profitable, low-risk approach to help propel the company toward its goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Our engagement created momentum for change as our client powered forward on its way to a fit-for-purpose renewable energy business.
A fresh strategy for sustainable packaging
Shifting consumer attitudes and regulatory landscapes are quickly altering the packaging industry. For these companies, sustainability is key to future competitiveness. We partnered with a leading global producer of food packaging to refresh their sustainable strategy. To help our client achieve system-level change, we collaborated with SYSTEMIQ, a specialized sustainable systems change consultancy. We worked as one team to update our client's sustainability and circularity ambitions, targets and actions, while simultaneously raising the bar on competitive advantage.
