BearingPoint is now B Corp Certified
B Corp is a globally recognized certification that designates a company’s commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. With over 9,000 companies across more than 162 industries and 102 countries, the B Corp community is a strong network of leaders dedicated to building a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable economy.
The certification process takes a holistic approach, assessing practices and outputs across five key dimensions: governance, workers, customers, environment, and community. The verification phase is rigorous and intensive, and recertification is required every three years to ensure that standards continue to be met and to promote long-term resilience.

We embarked on becoming a B Corp Certified as we are committed to making profound changes to support the shared vision of an inclusive, fair, and regenerative economy. We believe a sustainable and inclusive company must continuously improve how it impacts people and the planet. In 2020, we decided on a holistic strategy that put purpose at its center. A goal of the strategy was to become B Corp certified and show that focusing on people and the planet makes us more resilient, accelerates our excellence, and makes us a force for good.
Being B Corp Certified is another big achievement for BearingPoint and our clients as we move toward a more sustainable and diverse future. It shows our commitment to sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion. ‘Together we are more than business’ is more than a slogan for us. It is our purpose because we’re all in this together, and we aspire to do more for people, the planet, and society.
