Equal Employment Opportunities and Commitment to Diversity

The firm is committed to providing equal employment opportunity (EEO) to all qualified persons without regard to any characteristics protected by law, including race, nationality, sex, gender, religion and age. This means equal opportunity not only in regard to hiring and recruitment, but also with regard to compensation, promotion, transfer, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. Although the laws may differ in the various locations in which we do business, our principles are the same worldwide. Concern for the personal dignity of each individual is an indispensable element of the standards we set for ourselves at Goldman Sachs. We focus our personnel decisions on merit and contribution to the firm’s success. We do not tolerate any type of discrimination prohibited by law, including harassment. Goldman Sachs considers conduct that does not conform to these standards and to those set by applicable law to be a serious violation of its policies and will take appropriate disciplinary action against those who engage in such conduct. 

The firm has a number of communications channels by which workplace concerns can be raised and a process for handling concerns with sensitivity. If you are an applicant and you have any concerns about conduct that may not conform to these standards, we encourage you to escalate your concerns using one of the escalation channels available on the  Business Integrity Portal.

We value diversity as an important asset that enhances our culture, helps us serve clients well and maximizes return for shareholders. For us to excel, we must create for our people an inclusive environment that welcomes and supports differences and encourages input from all perspectives.
