History
In 1963, Boston Consulting Group is founded by Bruce Henderson as the Management and Consulting Division of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company - itself a subsidiary of The Boston Company.
In 1968, The Boston Company spins off BCG as a separate subsidiary.
In 1875, BCG stock is sold to its employees through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as a means of purchasing the company from The Boston Company. It's one of the nation's first ESOPs.
