2021 has been an important year for BCG as we continue to build and grow in our D. Ei impact. Our progress reflects our rich history of supporting BCG years from all backgrounds which is core to our values. As a firm. We are excited about where BCG is going even as we know, there is still more work to do. Our approach to diversity equity and inclusion is grounded in three pillars of action our workplace, our work and our world. Our work across these three pillars is expansive with our firm leaders driving change on all fronts and we want to highlight and celebrate some of this work within BCG. We emphasized representation and the importance of equitable and inclusive culture. We doubled our CT diversity recruiting team and continue to increase the diversity of our staff, including increasing our black and hispanic latino, hiring for both our business services team and consulting team. Our eight diversity affinity networks grew significantly and re imagine new ways to engage. They stayed connected through virtual hybrid and in person programming including their annual conferences for our veterans at BCG. This meant expanding the vet mentoring program to strengthen one on one connections for pride at BCG and expanded leadership model helped to grow the network across business units and offices accessibility at BCG hosted several events including talks with paralympian Noelle Lambert and Tony Winner Ali Stroker and Indigenous at BCG invited several indigenous speakers as part of our racial equity engagement series more broadly. The racial equity engagement series brought in speakers on a range of important topics and thousands of BCG years dialed in to participate. We expanded ways for people to get active in D. E. I. With inclusion accelerators in every office, New D. I. Communities and over 300 mbps active through networks, the groundwater program, inclusion accelerators or as MDP champions.
