Hi there,

1. Could you please tell me if management consulting firms (MBB preferably) are engaged in this area?

Yes, but MBB rarely hire specifically for this. You'll have to really push for this and will likely have to be generalist for a while. Your Big4 and boutiques are more likely to hire directly for sustainability consulting.

2. How is their work organized in this direction (special devizions, groups)?

Highly highly dependent on not just the firm, but also the country. You need to network to figure this out more!

3. Will I have to apply for a specific role rather than pursue a generalist position?

Per #1 you're almost certainly going to have to go generalist if MBB. For a boutique or firm with a specific sustainability practice you'll be able to apply to a specific role. Per #2 this is so highly dependent on firm+region that you need to network to get a clear answer on a case-by-case basis!

Hi there,

(1), (2) Indeed, as Moritz and Ian are saying, MBB has recently established dedicated sustainability practices in select offices and are actively looking to recruit specialised consultants. 

(3) So yes, it is possible to target the Practice specifically - in the offices where it is relevant enough of course. 

Good luck!

Hi there, 

as a BCGer I can confirm there is a huge effort in the sustainability area and options for work in BCG at least. Sustainability is the top priority. I would recommend to reach out to the recruiting team in the office you would want to apply and ask what are your options. 

Good luck

Lucie
