Bain is formally certified as a 100% CarbonNeutral® company across its global operations and has been since the spring of 2012. We are proud to be recertified in 2020 for the tenth year in a row - an achievement few can claim, according to Natural Capital Partners, a world-leading provider of carbon emission reduction and renewable energy solutions.
This achievement is the result of an exhaustive effort to measure our global footprint in accordance with international certification standards, coupled with a multifaceted approach to reach net zero carbon emissions.
We have been aggressively reducing our footprint where we can. More than 60 office-level initiatives have been underway for years spearheaded by our Green Teams, including recycling, reducing paper usage and conserving electricity. These are joined by firm-wide initiatives to reduce our emissions, such as server consolidation, increased teleconferencing and purchasing green energy, which constitutes more than 96% of Bain’s electricity consumption.
