So, what does one of the world's most famous management consulting firms do to manage its own carbon footprint? BCG CEO tells us a few things here:
-
The company planned to reduce its climate impact from business travel, which represents more than 80% of its total footprint, by at least 30% per full-time employee by 2025. The firm also announced a $400 million investment over the next decade to address the effects of climate change.

We announced a 30% reduction, not a 90% reduction because we still think our teams will need to spend time with clients. - Rich Lesser, CEO of Boston Consulting Group.
