EXPLORE OUR SOCIAL IMPACT WORK

Combating the climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time and a top priority for BCG. We are partnering with businesses and governments to help them transform and build a more sustainable and resilient world. This is the right move not just for the good of the planet but also for the long-term sustainability of our clients. BCG is committed to shaping the global agenda through our climate partnerships and to leading by example by making progress on our own net zero transformation.

We have set an SBTi-validated target to reach net zero greenhouse-gas emissions across the value chain by 2050, including near-term targets to rapidly reduce our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. We believe those that can move faster should do so, which is why we have also committed to neutralize 100% of our emissions through high-quality carbon removal credits by 2030 and to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than we emit beyond 2030.

BCG’s Speak Up Line

As part of our ongoing effort to prevent and identify potential breaches of our values or responsible business practices, BCG offers a reporting option called the Speak Up Line. The Speak Up Line provides employees, clients, suppliers, and any other third parties an opportunity to report suspected violations of applicable law and BCG policies and values. BCG confidentially reviews and investigates received reports and may also forward them to appropriate external parties if warranted. Users of the Speak Up Line may remain anonymous when submitting a report if they choose.

The Speak Up Line covers elements of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz or “LkSG”), and may be used to report any suspected concerns in the supply chain in connection with human rights and environmental issues. You can learn more about the Rules of Procedure and the process followed once a report is received by clicking here.
