Company facts
The Boston Consulting Group
BCG is a global management consulting firm and the world's leading advisor on
business strategy. We partner with clients in all sectors and regions to
identify their highest-value opportunities, address their most critical
challenges, and transform their businesses. Our customized approach ensures that
our clients achieve sustainable competitive advantage, build more capable
organizations, and secure lasting results. We seek to be agents of change for
our clients, our people, and society broadly.
Management consulting
How can a large pharmaceutical company achieve major cost savings in its global
supply chain? What is the most effective way for a leading financial-services
player to significantly expand its retail-banking business? High-level,
strategic questions such as these defy easy answers and textbooksolutions,
particularly in today’s complex business environment. Yet they are the types of
questions that strategy consultants are called upon by clients to answer. And
clients expect more than simply an accurate diagnosis of the problem: they want
a practical, effective path to implement—one that can generate real bottom-line
results and sustainable competitive advantage.
Social impact work at BCG
Approximately 2.7 billion people, nearly half the world's population, exist on
less than $2 a day, with about 1 billion of them living on less than $1 a day.
BCG's involvement in social impact work is motivated by eye-opening facts such
as this. Because we possess expertise that is capable of making a difference, we
are compelled to work with humanitarian organizations to impact local
communities and the world at large.
At the global level, we have chosen our areas of focus based on the U.N.
Millennium Development Goals and we have been privileged to partner with the
World Food Programme, Save the Children, and several organizations in the global
health arena. At the local level, each BCG office chooses its own initiatives
and finds organizations with which to partner. Our local social-impact work
includes launching a cancer care hospital in Hong Kong, starting a
transformation effort with the school district of Chicago, improving the
operation of a German zoo, and helping an organization that works on behalf of
troubled youths in Sweden.
