Goldman Sachs encourages community engagement and values connecting with our global audiences online. Share, discuss, and discover information and ideas through our social networks and connect with other like-minded individuals. We welcome your questions and comments. In order to keep our communities and conversations focused, we’ve established the following guidelines:
Social networks are public
Goldman Sachs’ online communities are open to the public. Anything posted to our social networks may be seen and read by everyone. Because our Facebook page is a public page and anyone can participate, we cannot be responsible for views expressed other than our own.

Stay on topic
Your comments should be related to the topics posted on our social networks. We reserve the right to delete off-topic comments, and, for instance, will remove any marketing materials, commercial content, and other types of “spam” (such as comments that are posted repeatedly), and will ban users as appropriate.
Make sure it’s yours
