Key Statements

“As a firm, we have committed to deploying $750,000,000,000 of capital towards climate transition and inclusive growth by 2030 and are tracking ahead of our original plan. We are executing on our sustainable finance strategy using three primary tools. First, our core business products and services. We have had 600 client meetings on sustainable finance over the course of 2020 and are growing our service offerings and advice across divisions, moving ESG from the periphery to the core of the work we do with our clients. Second, applying these pillars to Goldman Sachs, including a commitment to be carbon neutral as a firm—which we have been since 2015, to increase the diversity of our workforce and to meet operational goals around energy use, waste reduction and supply chain management—including increasing our spend with vendors from diverse groups. And third, advancing our commitment through philanthropy, partnerships and policy engagement.”
