• Employee engagement and work culture
• Purpose at work
• Development and learning
• Diversity equity and inclusion
• Talent attraction

Our people and culture are at the core of what makes us successful. We are creating a workplace, where everyone is engaged and can bring one's full self to work. We promote entrepreneurship and commit to flexibility, fostering an environment for individual growth in a safe and respectful space. Personal interests, activities and family live are seen as adding value. We want to be an attractive employer throughout the career of our talents and offer far more than a competitive salary and a steep learning curve.

We believe that as strategy consultants we have an active role to play. The big idea that drives us is to help organizations, by providing entrepreneurial and responsible solutions with our diverse teams of authentic personalities, leveraging our deep industry and functional expertise.

In our fast-changing world, developing new expertise and skills is crucial to provide our clients with the best service possible. Personal development is necessary when offering career paths for every employee. Constant learning is thus part of our corporate culture, be it by training on the job, formal trainings both on site or remote, bootcamps or seminars, social fellowships, international assignments, higher education such as a Master, MBA, or PhD program or experiencing ones entrepreneurial drive-in fellowships or industry placements.

We treat diversity, equity and inclusion as a way of life. We promote diversity of gender, ethnic group, religion, disability, age, sexual preference, socio-economic and educational backgrounds in our work environments and strive to maximize opportunities for everyone while trying to be aware of any kind of bias. We believe that the meeting of different cultures and different perspectives within our company enriches us. That is why we commit to ensuring our firm is an inclusive, meritocratic world that celebrates the richness of our differences.

As a company, Roland Berger constantly strives to attract the best available talent in the market to support our clients with the best team. We bring in people that are authentic and have diverse backgrounds and an entrepreneurial strategy and turn strategy into reality.

• Greenhouse gas emissions
• Energy consumption
• Circularity and ecosystems

As strategy consultants, our biggest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions lies in supporting our clients to do so. Still, we want to lead by example. Therefore, we have joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and set ourselves science-based targets to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions, covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3. We are tracking our greenhouse gas footprint annually to make sure we are in line with the Paris Agreement and have implemented various initiatives to reduce our emissions.

Reducing electricity, heating and cooling consumption where possible is crucial to our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and for the transition to a low-carbon economy. Because most of our emissions are linked to how we behave, we are encouraging our employees to make sustainability a part of their day-to-day lives.

In a circular economy, waste is not waste but valuable resources for new products. We aspire to create systems for the circular management of all material things at the workplace and beyond. This requires bringing a circular mindset to every project we touch. Moreover, circularity addresses how everyday business activities at Roland Berger have an impact on our ecosystems and biodiversity.
