14 Sustainability Report 2021 Introduction To ensure global coverage of our sustainable finance- related efforts, we also have regionally focused Sustainability Councils that partner with our businesses and connect the firm to our clients. This integrated approach has allowed us to deliver OneGS to our clients globally — working across the firm and leveraging the expertise of our people and resources across different areas of our business and regions to provide differentiated, innovative sustainable finance products and offerings. These councils have not only transformed how our clients engage with our firm on sustainable finance, but also how we mobilize our sustainability efforts as a global institution. • Global Markets launched a Carbon Portfolio Analytics offering within Marquee that provides carbon data, tools, and analytics that empower clients. • Consumer and Wealth Management now offers sustainable investing solutions to clients of all sizes, from our consumer to our ultra-high-net-worth business. In our Private Wealth Management business, demand for sustainable investments has been strongest from our largest clients, and this year we launched an ESG diagnostic to help clients identify and work toward their long-term sustainability goals within their public market portfolios. • Investment Banking continues to deliver holistic services to our clients including integrating ESG into their financing activities through green, social, and sustainability bonds; issuing sustainable KPI-linked issuances; and leveraging equity offerings such as IPOs to enhance and accelerate their sustainability missions. • Asset Management facilitated our recent acquisition of NN Investment Partners , a leading sustainable investment manager in Europe. • Leveraging our OneGS model, we launched a new and unique Decarbonization offering that leverages commercial capabilities and capital solutions across the firm. In the following sections of our 2021 Sustainability Report , we’ll dive deeper into our approach and highlight how we are executing on our strategy across climate transition and inclusive growth.
