With this Sustainability Report, we provide comprehensive information about Baker Tilly's activities in Germany with the greatest possible transparency - with a particular focus on the four dimensions:
Environment and Nature
People and Society
Social Commitment
Compliance, Integrity and Trust
We pursue the overarching corporate goal of having as little negative impact on our environment as possible through our work as an auditing and consulting company. To this end, we encourage our employees to think and act sustainably and create a suitable framework for them to be able to carry out their tasks in the most resource-efficient and responsible manner possible.
Responsibility and commitment to our environment and the common good
Following the guiding principle of the “honorable businessman”, responsibility and commitment to our environment and the common good have always been deeply rooted core values of our enterprise. For the second time, we are publishing our Sustainability Report in this comprehensive form, thus underlining our continuous striving for transparent and sustainable action.
To us, sustainability is more than a mere obligation: It is a guideline in order to actively and positively shape our future. Therefore, we continuously review our sustainability strategies and steer our commitment specifically along the three key areas of environment, social and governance (ESG). These three pillars are the foundation of our efforts to achieve and maintain particularly high ethical, social and ecological standards and take center stage in this Sustainability Report.
Our ESG strategy forms the basis for Baker Tilly’s responsible and sustainable business practices. We attach particular importance to ensuring that our management takes equal account of the needs of our employees, the environment, society and, naturally, our clients. We practice such approach on a daily basis and are committed to ensuring that our actions not only comply with the laws but also with our fundamental values. In doing so, we never lose sight of our decisions’ long-term effects.
This report is an expression of our intention to create transparency and openly communicate our progress and potential. For us, sustainable action is not just a goal, but an obligation we take seriously.
We invite you to use this Sustainability Report to gain an impression of our efforts and look forward to exchanging ideas with you if you have any questions or comments on our statements.
Enjoy reading!
The Baker Tilly Management Board
Economic, ecological and social goals in harmony
The linchpin of our sustainability is our employees and our sustainable human resources management in order to ensure the long-term success of our company through healthy and satisfied employees as a central factor in Baker Tilly's success in Germany: from joining our company through a successful career , which possibly extends to the partnership and even the exit, our aim is a reliable, employee-centered corporate culture characterized by a high level of social competence.
Variety, diversity and the compatibility of family and work are essential building blocks of our human resources culture.
For ourselves and our clients, sustainability and the corresponding non-financial reporting are not just a compliance challenge, but an opportunity for a strategically anchored sustainable transformation that balances and harmonizes economic, ecological and social goals.
We ensure that all buildings are operated with as little energy as possible and are certified according to common standards.
For us as an auditing and consulting company, compliance and quality management play a central role. That's why we continually work to improve our processes and go far beyond meeting standards.
Outside of our company, we are committed to the common good with the Baker Tilly Foundation, founded in 2018. True to the motto: “We take responsibility today for a better tomorrow!” The foundation primarily supports committed people, initiatives and projects in the area of child and youth welfare and promotes education.
At the same time, our Sustainability Competence Center incorporates sustainability expertise and experience into all of our consulting and auditing services.

Our commitment at Baker Tilly in Germany 2022
“Do good, but make sure others get to hear of it” - this famous German proverb dates back more than half a century but still holds true. Doing good has always been a central component of Baker Tilly’s
corporate philosophy and for us it means above all taking responsibility. And yes: we also want you to read and hear about it – which is the very reason why we prepared this sustainability report.
About this sustainability report
Our annual sustainability reports look at the previous year. We provide comprehensive information about Baker Tilly's activities in Germany with the greatest possible transparency - with a particular focus on the areas of "Environment and Nature", "People and Society" and "Compliance, Integrity and Trust".
At the same time, these reports also reflect the key aspects of our sustainability strategy to date. Information about our global network and the sustainable value contribution of individual member companies can be found here.
Admittedly, we are only at the beginning of a company-wide sustainability strategy and need to continue to develop sustainably. The Baker Tilly Sustainability Reports were created in this comprehensive form for the first time and will be published annually in purely electronic form.
