Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and Inclusion

We're guided by True North

True North is our unswerving commitment to always do the right thing by our clients, our people and our communities.

Why Diversity and Inclusion Matters

Social impact

Social impact

We apply our expertise beyond client work to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues. On a wide range of initiatives, we partner with ground-breaking organisations in education, economic development and sustainability.

Mentorship

In 2020, Bain has committed to mentoring 50+ LGBTQ+ refugees in San Francisco, New York City, and London over the next three years in association with Tent.

Education Transformation

Through our Social Impact “ring fence”, we work with long-term partners (Impetus-The Private Equity Foundation, Ark Schools and The Social Business Trust) to help disadvantaged young people. A full team works throughout the year to deliver projects across our capabilities to 50+ organisations within these partner portfolios.

Pro-Bono Projects

On top of their corporate cases, our consultants deliver “extra 10%” projects to charities and NGOs throughout the year, which consistently prove to be highly rewarding and impactful. Recent projects cover all of our focus areas and include organisations as diverse as the UNHCR to local food bank charities.

Volunteering

Our office also sponsors other volunteering initiatives. Those include small team events (e.g. cleaning the beach, cooking for the homeless) to long-term commitments with social enterprises (lunchtime tutoring programmes, mock interviews for job seekers aged 16-25 and mentoring/training of charity CEOs).
