We help you see the world differently, discover opportunities you may never have imagined and achieve results that bridge what is with what can be.

We work with ambitious clients who want to define the future, not hide from it.

Global leaders come to us to solve industry-defining challenges in: strategy, marketing, organization, operations, information technology, digital transformation and strategy, advanced analytics, transformations, sustainability, corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions, across all industries and geographies. Our unique approach to change management (Results360®) helps structure, orchestrate and enable sustained results.

We measure our success by the success of our clients: more than 60% of the Global 500, private equity funds representing 75% of global equity capital, leading nonprofits and innovative startups.

Our mission is to help our clients create such high levels of value that together we set new standards of excellence in our respective industries.

Passion & Commitment

We have a passion for results aligned with our clients’ success, and a commitment to the highest level of professionalism and ethical standards in everything we do.

Honesty & Openness

We have a deep intellectual honesty, and the candor to tell it like it is in straightforward language. We remain open to the possibility that current beliefs could be wrong.

Practical

We combine bold thinking with a practical approach that focuses on getting the job done, turning decisions into action and delivering results.

One Team

We work as one global team—both with each other and our clients—to direct our collective energy toward achieving the extraordinary.

An insurgent mindset

We work with ambitious clients who want to define the future, not hide from it. Together, we define a bold ambition and achieve extraordinary results that redefine industries.

Integrated innovation

We deliver integrated solutions, complementing our capabilities with a curated ecosystem of the world’s leading innovators to achieve better, faster, more enduring results for clients.

A uniquely collaborative culture

It feels different to work with us because our people are unlike any other. We bring a fresh perspective, mutual trust and infectious energy to every client relationship.

Results, not reports

We opened our doors on the principle that clients should get results—not just reports—from their consultants. We broke the rules by developing customized strategies that helped clients beat their competition. We continue to work with ambitious clients who want to define the future, not hide from it.

Putting our money where our mouth is

We have various "tied economics" arrangements with our clients, allowing us to better align our financial incentives with client outcomes. Our people are passionate about delivering tangible results for clients, and these arrangements make our commitments more than a promise. We succeed only when our clients do.

Results360®

More than 80% of major change efforts fall short of their goals. Our approach helps clients overcome the odds by predicting, measuring and managing the risk associated with change from day one. The results: a proven method to structure, orchestrate and enable the changes necessary to achieve a competitive advantage.

We bring a fresh perspective and infectious energy to every client relationship. Our emphasis on teamwork, trust and tolerance for diverging opinions helps clients focus on their opportunities, build their capabilities and win the future. Together, we achieve results that bridge what is with what can be.

Our mission is to drive transformative social impact by applying Bain talent in partnership with the most innovative and effective organizations, addressing some of the world's most pressing issues.

We partner with organizations that have pioneered and scaled models of change that demonstrably work, but which often lack access to the type of strategic consulting that Bain can provide to help them reach full potential.

This is why our 10-year commitment to invest $1 billion in pro bono consulting work is so important.

Our pro bono work brings Bain’s talent, expertise and insight to organizations tackling today’s urgent challenges in education, racial and social equity, economic development and the environment. To tackle these issues, we have organized around four key areas.

Education

We work with innovative education nonprofits and school systems to create better opportunities for underserved students to lead choice-filled lives. Learn about how we help clients in the education sector.

Economic Development

Our economic development work leverages the power of markets and business enterprise models to create jobs, fuel income growth and improve the quality of life for the world's poor. Learn about our economic development work.

Environment

We work with environmental NGOs to strengthen their conservation efforts, and with corporate clients to embed sustainability and reduce environmental impact. We are proud to lead the industry on environmentally responsible practices as a Certified 100% CarbonNeutral Company®. Learn about our Environmental Sustainability.

Racial and Social Equity

We have recently announced our renewed and strengthened commitment to advancing racial equality and social justice in our communities. Additional details will be available soon.

We conduct a thorough process to identify the topics most material to Bain’s ESG disclosures, refreshed annually. Using feedback from our listed stakeholders below and benchmarking against other companies in our industry, we shortlisted the topics which are relevant to Bain & Company as a professional services firm.

Off that shortlist, topics were prioritized by senior leadership and ESG experts within the company based on impact on our business and impact on our stakeholders. While all listed topics are of importance to Bain and are monitored routinely, we have shortlisted the seven below as most material to our operations.

Material Topics

• Clients' ESG Transformation Goals
• Talent Strategy
• DEI
• Data Security
• Anti-Corruption
• Internal Climate Efforts
• Economic Performance

Our sustainable impact doesn’t stop at client work. We believe in leading by example, so we embed a deep commitment to social and environmental standards in everything we do.

• 11 Consecutive Years Carbon Neutral
• A- Climate Change Score from CDP
• $1.1 Billion committed to pro bono consulting teams by 2025

Sustainability isn’t something we just talk to others about. Certified carbon neutral since 2012 and regularly ranked as one of the best places to work, Bain strives every day to reduce our environmental footprint, enhance employee well-being, practice the highest levels of ethics and procure supplies and services sustainably.

Sustainability has become an imperative for us all. Environmental challenges are growing while timelines for addressing them are contracting. For that reason, we will continue to embed sustainability into our overall firm strategy, our client communications and our procurement practices.
