Goldman Sachs has been at the forefront of innovation, performance and service in the investment banking, securities and investment management industry since 1869.

Today, we help the world's governments, corporations, institutions and private individuals realise important financial and strategic goals - initiating change and generating wealth across the globe.

Goldman Sachs has successfully grown and adapted to new environments without losing its sense of cohesion or compromising its principles. As global demand for our services increases, we are providing new products and services, entering new markets, acquiring new resources and helping new clients. This activity is predicated on our continued ability to attract and retain some of the most talented people in the world.

Our culture is the glue that makes this possible, enabling colleagues old and new to work together to meet the demanding standards of our clients and shareholders. Our firm's long-standing values of teamwork, client focus, excellence and entrepreneurship remain codified in our business principles .

Over the past few years, the firm has initiated programmes and expanded existing ones that encourage the people of Goldman Sachs to adhere to their principles and to keep the culture vibrant and responsive. Our Community TeamWorks volunteer program is an example of how seriously the people of Goldman Sachs take their responsibility to the communities in which they live and work. We are committed to a variety of initiatives addressing social, environmental, and economic needs, including our Environmental Policy, and our activities on Tierra del Fuego, our Charitable Services Group, the Global Markets Institute and our involvement in the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm).

The Wellness Exchange is a programme that assists employees in optimizing the balance between work and life to enhance their quality of life.
