Professional Code of Conduct:
We believe in professionalism. For us this means to always:
We measure our success by our clients' success. We make all our resources available to our clients and commit
ourselves wholeheartedly to their success. We seek to identify our clients' real needs and deliver more value than
expected, not just deliver good work whatever the client asks. In tradeoffs between BEI's and a client's interest, the
client comes first.
We are committed to creating value for our clients as cost effectively as we can that returns many multiples of their
investment. We expect that our people spend client's and our firm's resources as if their own resources were at
stake. We deliver tangible and positive change, not simply presentations or ideas. We set our standard for value
creation extremely high.
At BEI, value creation requires that our work deliver insight and change the mindset of our clients. Our work
must
lead directly to clients taking action and executing their business in new ways. We must enhance client
capabilities
and deliver both competitive advantage and bottom-line impact. We hold ourselves accountable
to our value
deliveredstandards by engaging candidly within BEI and with clients about the level of value created
by our joint efforts.
Responsibility and Commitment:
We take full ownership for all our decisions, actions and consequences that result. And we are fully committed to
deliver on our responsibility all the time to fulfill client's requirements. We make decisions and take actions based
on the best interests of society, public safety, and the environment
Integrity, Trust and Honesty
Integrity means distinguishing right from wrong and doing the right thing. We represent our capabilities honestly. We
observe appropriate confidentiality of client information. We do not misrepresent our purposes in seeking information.
We only make promises we can keep. We take the time to consider our actions and ask whether we can defend them
openly today and tomorrow.
We show respect to local custom and culture, as long as we don't compromise our integrity.
Integrity at BEI also requires courage and accountability. We deliver work of the highest quality by our standards as
well as those of our clients. We do not compromise our intellectual integrity for special interests. We share our
objective findings with clients-even those that may be unpopular-in a manner that is both candid and respectful
We stay independent and able to disagree, regardless of the popularity of our views or their effect on our fees. We
have the courage to invent and champion unconventional solutions to problems. We do this to help build internal
support, get to real issues, and reach practical recommendations.
We maintain highest professional integrity, trust, and honesty in every dealing with our customer, shareholder and
the society
We respect the capacity and desire for personal growth, as well as the talents and beliefs of clients, colleagues,
alumni, recruits, and all other people we meet in the course of our work. Regardless of position, we treat people
with consideration. We value ideas on their merit, not on the tenure of their source.
We recognize that respect requires both truthfulness and empathy. We deal with one another in an open and
honest way. We encourage constructive criticism. We reward performance and contribution consistent with our
values. We utilize transparent decision-making processes. We lead by example.
We recognize that ours is a demanding profession. We accept the responsibility as a group and as individuals,
to prevent situations that jeopardize our health or our families.
Mobilizing the power of teaming to deliver consistently exceptional service to our clients anywhere in the world.
Webelieve in the power of one firm. We maintain consistently high standards for service and people so that we
can always bring the best team of minds from around the world-with the broadest range of industry and functional
experience-to bear on every engagement.
We believe in teamwork and collaboration. We come to better answers in teams than as individuals. So we do
not compete against each other. Instead, we share a structured problem-solving approach, where all opinions
and options are considered, researched, and analyzed carefully before recommendations are made.
We believe in helping each other: We give each other tireless support. We are fiercely dedicated to developing
and coaching one another and our clients. Ours is a firm of leaders who want the freedom to do what they think
is right.
A partnership perspective guides BEI's relationships both internally and with clients. We take a long-term view in
our relationships. We strive to build bonds founded on respect, caring, honesty, mutual support, and investment.
We work together in a manner that is team-oriented, constructive, and challenging. Internally, we believe that a
collegial environment fosters continuous learning. We know that teamwork and cooperation are essential to our
success both as a company and as individuals. We aspire to a lifelong bond with those who have joined BEI.
Partnership is also the foundation of our client approach. We respect our clients and fully appreciate the challenges
they face. We work at all levels of the organization to drive lasting change. We feel privileged to share in their achieve
-
ments. We appreciate our clients' knowledge and experience. We want to strengthen our clients' capabilities rather
than substitute for management. We seek to provide a catalyst for change.
We start with the perspective that the goal is not simply to apply best practice but to invent it. Each client is unique,
and there is seldom only one solution. We believe that breakthrough ideas often result from the work of teams seeking
to creatively solve real client challenges. We seek to extend the art and science of management by generalizing from our experience.
We keep our knowledge enriched with continuous learning and sharing with open attitude, and be highly adoptive
to the cultures, thought process of our customer organizations.
We seek to have a positive and lasting impact beyond the business domain. We believe we can make the world a
betterplace both directly through our client work and through our pro bono efforts. We seek to pursue progressive
policies in every culture where we provide services.
As world populations and markets continue to grow, ensuring the sustainability of our economies is a fundamental responsibility of all institutions and individuals. At BEI we will share our intellectual capital on sustainability openly,
work with clients to support their sustainability efforts, and take steps as a company to minimize our own impact on
the environment.
We contribute generously to the public our knowledge, time, and effort to community and global issues and institutions.
And ensure we are integral part of society with positive influence
