ESG & Impact
Fair Employment, Engagement &
Well-being
Bain Capital’s ambition is to lead by example and empower our businesses to treat employees with fairness and respect, building an environment and culture that at its core promotes employee safety, well-being and engagement.
At Bain Capital, we value growing talent from within. We pride ourselves on being a purpose-driven team with a distinctive, collaborative culture. We aim to be a high-performing organization with engaged employees. To attract, retain and develop people, we continue to refine and evolve our talent value proposition to provide tailored and relevant growth opportunities for our employees through ongoing training, mentorship opportunities and senior leadership engagement. We prioritize employee well-being through employee networks, comprehensive programs and benefits. With a strong commitment to pay equity, we conduct regular pay practice reviews.
We continue to build world-class teams with strong, positive culture and working dynamics globally despite recent challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our apprenticeship-based culture grounds our talent strategy. As we scale teams and functions across business units, we have doubled down on investing time and resources on employee development and training opportunities. Across business units, we provide dedicated resources, training tools and leadership development opportunities to position our people for success. Our overall talent engagement and development strategies are highly informed by feedback from employee engagement surveys.
Private Investments
Within Private Equity, we are embedding our priorities to further promote fair employment, engagement and well-being and have worked to meaningfully engage with various stakeholders. As one example, we host a bi-monthly forum with CHROs from our portfolio companies to provide support and a community to share best practices on employee engagement and DEI initiatives. These discussions are opportunities for collaboration and provide valuable resources to foster people process excellence, fair and equitable employment, employee health and well-being, inclusive and engaged workforces and diverse teams. Recent forum topics have included enhancing senior leadership diversity and employee wellbeing, utilizing engagement surveys to drive organizational health, creating learning opportunities for our portfolio companies as well as our own Portfolio Group team members.
Capital Markets
Our Credit and Special Situations businesses fully integrate ESG considerations throughout our investment process, from sourcing to our asset management activities. To do this, we start with a foundational set of ESG considerations embedded within our five core commitments and further tailor ESG considerations based on materiality. We also motivate our partners, whether they be management teams, asset managers, loan servicers or joint venture partners, to align with our ESG approach and other industry leading practices.
