Diversity at Goldman Sachs
"Diversity and inclusion is a top priority at Goldman Sachs. We know that the strength of our culture, the execution of our strategy, and our relevance to our clients depend on a truly diverse workforce and inclusive work environment.
It is important that all of our people feel valued, and we embrace our differences – whether race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability or whatever contributes to who we are. Our goal is to be the employer of choice to all. This is important for our business, our clients, our people and to us. Fundamental change takes time, but if we are rigorous in our execution of incremental change, we will make it happen. We are committed to that.”
