Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

A material impact area for our people

Our Goal

Advance diversity and equity at BBH, supported by a strong culture of inclusion, accountability, and employee engagement.

Our community’s strength lies in our ability to build trusted relationships across our different backgrounds, experiences, expertise, and locations — creating a supportive environment that leads to innovative solutions for our clients and the best workplace for our people. As individuals, we know being who we are makes us better at what we do. That’s why we encourage everyone to be themselves, take pride in their unique background, engage in respectful debate, and be curious about the world around them.

We believe it takes conscious and sustained effort to cultivate a workplace where all employees feel valued, included, and empowered to deliver their best. Creating a culture where every individual can contribute their full potential requires reviewing systems, processes, and behaviors within an organization to uncover gaps and ensure an inclusive approach.

As we look to the future of work, our continued commitment to welcome and support the diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and circumstances of all our employees will be critical to our success. Inclusion is a never-ending journey that is measured by improved outcomes and the understanding that there is always more to learn and act upon. Learn more about our inclusive culture here.
