What our team says about us.
Pride@BCG Platinion is an important platform to me. It is a place where members and allies come together to live our culture of being proud of our diversity, and where we create new ideas and initiatives to make sure everyone at BCG feels supported, no matter of their background.

Celebrating diversity at the top! Seeing leaders in the BCG Platinion Pride network who mirror my journey has been a game-changer. It’s more than inspiring – it's a powerful reminder that here, we all have a place to thrive!

The purpose of our Pride initiative is to safeguard that diversity in terms of sexual orientation and identity is perceived as normal within our company and in society as a whole. In addition to the incredibly fulfilling work for this matter, the community offers me a platform within BCG and BCG Platinion, where I can exchange ideas with like-minded colleagues and, even more importantly, have also found true friends. Our large network of members and allies welcomes everyone who cares about diversity, equity and inclusion.
Nico Clarner

By being part of the Pride@BCGPlatinion initiative, I am actively fostering an inclusive & supportive workplace environment where everyone is accepted for their authentic selves, irrespective of their love or identity – which exactly represents the core values of BCG Platinion’s culture.

We have the answers!
Yes! Let our recruiting team know if you want to talk to a Pride@BCG Platinion member or ally at any stage of the process.
There are two different ways to join the Pride network: as a member or an ally. As a member, you can choose to be either an official member or a hidden member. If you opt for hidden membership, you will still be kept informed about all the activities and updates within the initiative, without being officially out. As an ally, you can attend our meetings, most get-togethers and have the opportunity to actively participate in activities, to show your support for the LGBTIQ+ community.
Once a month, our Pride initiative meets to discuss current objectives, ideas, projects and items on the to-do list. Furthermore, we host various get-togethers throughout the year to drive our projects forward, celebrate our progress and network. Above that, we use our events to build awareness for various LGBTIQ+-related topics and groups of people within the community. We are not only visible internally, but we also participate in CSDs as well as LGBTIQ+ career fairs, where you also have the chance to meet us in person.
Yes, definitely! You can actively influence the staffing process and can opt out of cases that you don’t want to work on. When you start at BCG Platinion, you can tell us your staffing preferences. If you are assigned on a case or in a country where you do not want to work, you always have a veto.
Yes, there is. Within the initiative, we have the option of joining as a “hidden member”.
