About BearingPoint EMEA
BearingPoint is a management and technology consultancy with strong European roots. Headquartered in Amsterdam, its more than 13,000 people work across over 70 countries in three business units: consulting, products, and capital. BearingPoint serves world-leading organizations, having delivered more than 1,800 projects.
The firm began as the consulting arm of KPMG, a major professional services and accounting firm, and became fully independent in the early 2000s. It experienced rapid initial growth, but struggled amid the Great Recession, filing for bankruptcy for its U.S. operations in 2009. However, that was not an end, but a new beginning: In 2009, the firm’s European partners executed a management buyout. The firm has only grown since then, opening new offices and making targeted acquisitions.
Today, BearingPoint offers its products and services across the globe. It has locations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the United States, India, China, and Asia Pacific markets such as Singapore and the Philippines.
Making progress the right way
BearingPoint has long strived to be a leader in DEI, as well as sustainability, and the firm walks the walk by setting detailed targets for its operations. It has a dedicated budget to target having 30 percent women representation among its senior managers, directors, and partners by 2026. By 2030, it expects this figure to reach 40 percent. Likewise, the firm aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 53.8 percent by 2030, plus reduce its Scope 3 emissions from business travel by 55 percent per year.
The firm also seeks to be a good corporate citizen by establishing impactful, long-term partnerships with nonprofits. For example, the firm has worked with a French program to upskill people with disabilities for IT jobs and led a donation campaign to help people affected by a major earthquake in Morocco in 2023.
