Our points of focus.

Our organization is most successful when we elevate our diversity of thought and create environments where all our employees can thrive. That’s why Pride@BCG concentrates on:

Creating a culture that is safe and comfortable for all LGBTQ+ BCGers so that they feel able to be themselves fully at work.  
Expanding access to LGBTQ+ talent pools by sponsoring recruiting events such as, ROMBA (USA), EurOut, LGBT Leaders (UK), LGBT Talents (France), Rise (India), and Pride2Be (Brazil). 
Conducting and publishing original research and thought leadership on LGBTQ-related topics.
Sponsoring and serving as thought partners with organizations that advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, such as WEF Partnership for Global LGBTI Equality, GiveOut, Open for Business, and OUTstanding.
Articulating BCG’s values externally at tables and in forums that matter.

Proudly growing Pride@BCG.

Respecting your journey. 


Pride@BCG recognizes the social and cultural differences that may exist globally, so we’ve created three membership levels so you can engage comfortably with the network. You can choose to be 1) a general member (out to all of BCG), 2) a confidential member (out only to Pride@BCG members), or 3) a confidential subscriber to our emails (out only to Pride@BCG admin team). If you do not identify as LGBTQ+, we welcome you to join as an ally.


We fully respect each person’s choices about their own journey and, where appropriate, need for confidentiality. Your choice to come out to your fellow BCGers is your choice, and we respect your privacy.
