Sustainability Report 2021 Inclusive Growth | Driving Change Across Our Firm Vendor Diversity Program: Global Highlights APAC: Diversifying Campus Support in India At our Bengaluru campus, we introduced a 100% women- managed Starbucks outlet, the first of its kind in South India, and our employee commute program hired 15 women drivers. In Hyderabad, 100% of vendors hired to support ground transportation are small- or medium-enterprises or diverse businesses. EMEA: Experience in Hospitality Program BaxterStorey, our hospitality vendor in London, partnered with the Africa Centre, a London-based charity that celebrates the diversity of Africa and its people. In conjunction with ESG-focused food and beverage pop- ups, we welcomed aspiring chefs and food entrepreneurs to our on-site restaurant over the course of October 2021. Australia: Building and Supplying Workplaces For the recent fit out of our offices in Australia, we contracted with Indigenous-owned companies to supply workstations and manage our office moves. North America: 200 West In 2021, when Goldman Sachs relocated our executive office within the building, small and diverse businesses received more than 40% of overall construction payments and nearly 100% of the furniture orders. Ronda Jackson, a certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) interior designer, incorporated design items from 10,000 Small Businesses alumni. The pieces were displayed in the firmwide amenity space. As part of our One Million Black Women launch campaign, our marketing team prioritized partnerships with women-owned businesses, including creative agency Hive, Poochie Collins for visual design and photography, and Essence, Blavity, and Ebony as media partners. At The Conrad New York Downtown, we successfully engaged another female 10,000 Small Businesses graduate to repair and replace awnings. “ShadeFLA is grateful for the opportunity to have bid on a Goldman Sachs project in NYC in 2020- 21. As a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses graduate, I greatly benefited from participating in the 10,000 Small Businesses program that has taught me to take my business to the next level. Through the Goldman Sachs Vendor Program open to 10,000 Small Businesses alumni, I was able to successfully bid on and win two contracts for shade structures at The Conrad New York Downtown. The timing of these awards was crucial for ShadeFLA’s sales during the pandemic. As a Hispanic-owned business, we appreciated these contracts because they kept our bottom line growing, which provided funds to keep our team employed.” “The 10,000 Small Businesses program has always been about more than just business growth; it’s about building resilient businesses that can weather any storm. This has never been more important than during the pandemic, when so many businesses have been forced to pivot or shut down entirely. The opportunity to work with Goldman Sachs’ projects team benefited my company not just financially, but it allowed me to tap into my optimism, creativity, and support other 10,000 Small Businesses alumni businesses throughout the project. This was very rewarding because community works when we support one another. The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone, but I’m grateful that the project helped me get through it. It reminded me that even in tough times, we can continue to grow, thrive, and create new relationships for future opportunities.” INCLUSIVE GROWTH RONDA JACKSON CID, Serial Entrepreneur and Small Business Advocate, Décor Interior Design Inc.
