BearingPoint Earns Dual Global Honors in Corporate Excellence

In a powerful recognition of its global impact, BearingPoint has achieved a remarkable feat: being named on TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2025 list and simultaneously ranked among Forbes’ World’s Best Employers 2025. This dual distinction reflects BearingPoint’s commitment to blending business performance with social responsibility, underlining its status as a purpose-driven consultancy.

BearingPoint, a management and technology consultancy rooted in Europe but operating globally, secured these honors by demonstrating strong performance across innovation, inclusion, and responsible growth.

Excellence Across People, Performance, and Purpose

TIME’s World’s Best Companies list, compiled in partnership with Statista, evaluates firms on three critical dimensions: employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency (ESG). BearingPoint’s place on this list underscores its ability to balance financial success with strong corporate values and a thriving workplace culture.

On the other hand, Forbes’ World’s Best Employers ranking, now in its eighth edition, surveys hundreds of thousands of employees across more than 50 countries to assess work environment, compensation, and overall employer reputation. BearingPoint’s inclusion here illustrates not just its business strength but also its dedication to employee well-being and organizational trust.

Strategy 2030: Driving Global Reach and Impact

Matthias Loebich, Managing Partner at BearingPoint, connected these honors directly to the company’s long-range vision, Strategy 2030. According to him, these awards “reinforce our Strategy 2030 pillars of Global Reach and Global Relevance,” showing how BearingPoint creates value not only for its clients but also for its people and society.

Under Strategy 2030, BearingPoint is accelerating its global expansion, investing in digital and sustainable offerings, and strengthening its inclusive culture.

Purpose in Action: Sustainability and Certification

BearingPoint’s social and environmental commitment is not just symbolic, it has been formally validated. The company earned B Corp certification, joining a global movement of companies certified for high standards in governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.

This certification part of BearingPoint’s sustainability strategy reflects its deep-rooted purpose: “Together we are more than business.” The firm continues to deliver on this purpose through initiatives such as its Sustainable Ways of Working (SWOW), diversity programs, and its recently published sustainability report.

Building on Success: Growth, Talent, and Transformation

BearingPoint’s recognition is also rooted in its strong business momentum. In 2024, the firm crossed €1 billion in revenue for the fourth consecutive year, delivered more than 2,000 projects globally, and onboarded over 1,200 new colleagues.

In parallel, BearingPoint continues to build future leaders recently promoting 13 new partners as part of its growth plan. Through investments in training (such as the Be.Oxford Academy) and leadership development, it is reinforcing its commitment to both excellence and inclusion.

What This Means for the Industry

BearingPoint’s dual honors from TIME and Forbes underscore a broader trend in consulting and technology sectors: the increasing importance of combining commercial performance with purpose-driven leadership. By earning top global rankings, the firm signals to clients, talent, and investors alike that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Moreover, as companies around the world prioritize ESG, talent experience, and social impact, BearingPoint’s recognition could inspire peers to adopt similar strategies potentially shaping the future of how consultancies define success.

Final Thoughts

BearingPoint’s achievement of being listed among TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2025 and Forbes’ World’s Best Employers 2025 is more than an award-winning moment, it’s a reflection of its sustained commitment to people, purpose, and performance. With its Strategy 2030, B Corp certification, and robust growth trajectory, BearingPoint is clearly steering toward a future where corporate excellence is measured not just in revenue, but in impact.
