Marquee for e-Quality

NEW YORK, February 3, 2022 - Goldman Sachs has announced the launch of the ‘Marquee for e-Quality’ initiative for the second consecutive year, as part of the firm’s on-going commitment to promoting inclusion, diversity, and equity.

Throughout February and March, Goldman Sachs will be making a donation based on FX & Commodities volumes traded on Marquee Trader, the firm’s integrated platform for electronic execution, as well as FX volumes traded via Passive Currency Overlay.

Last year’s inaugural campaign, saw $1.1m raised, from over 56 different countries, supporting the vital work of leading organizations addressing racial injustice, structural inequity and economic disparity globally.

“At Goldman Sachs, everything we do takes place through a lens of innovation. The Marquee for e-Quality initiative epitomizes this attitude – by combining commercial endeavors with our philanthropic strategy, we are able to leverage and scale our impact.” – Asahi Pompey, Global Head of Corporate Engagement, Goldman Sachs

The funds raised through Marquee for e-Quality will be donated to selected non-profits that are grantees of the Goldman Sachs Fund for Racial Equity, a fund launched in 2020 in support of non-profit organizations across four key themes: Advancing Economic Progress, Legal & Criminal Justice Reform, fueling Social Change and Fostering Educational Opportunities.
