Our Approach to Sustainability

In helping our clients navigate this complex transition, we focus on the how. How we balance short-term needs with long-term ambitions. How we help address challenges, close gaps and unlock opportunities to accelerate climate transition and drive inclusive growth. It’s how we manage risk and create value for our clients, our firm and our shareholders, moving forward.

Our work with clients

“At Goldman Sachs, we’ve long believed the transition to a more sustainable economy would be a decades-long effort; to advance that transition, more risk capital must be invested in developing new, clean technologies, especially for the highest-emitting sectors; and in solving such a complex problem lies enormous opportunity for our clients.”
