9 Sustainability Report 2021 Introduction INTRODUCTION To Advance Sustainable Economic Growth and Financial Opportunity ACHIEVING OUR PURPOSE What We Do: Our Work With Clients We will continue to develop solutions that meet our clients’ needs. As they prepare for a more sustainable future — and ready themselves for the business impact that this change will bring — it is critical that we meet clients where they are on their sustainability journey and look to develop customized solutions for them. We leverage the full breadth of our commercial franchise so that Goldman Sachs is well-positioned to address our clients’ unique challenges and opportunities — client by client, business by business, and asset by asset. How We Do It: Our Firm Goldman Sachs has also operationalized sustainability and inclusivity across our own global footprint. By extending our commitments across regions, focusing on our supply chain, and providing our people with the tools they need to succeed, we’ve led through action to advance sustainable business outcomes. How We Address Gaps: Our Partnerships, Engagement, and Impact Sustainable, inclusive growth spans beyond any one organization or individual. We must work collectively to overcome challenges and impact meaningful shifts. That’s why Goldman Sachs identifies strategic partners across sectors — with expertise that complements our own — to fill underlying gaps and address the complexity together. By joining forces, we believe we help drive lasting change for years to come.
