THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. | Racial equity audit at THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC.

Organisation name | Declared voting intentions | Rationale |

Anima Sgr | For | As an independent racial equity audit would help shareholders better assess the effectiveness of Goldman Sachs' efforts to address the issue of racial inequality for its stakeholders and its management of related risks. Goldman Sachs has provided information on its various efforts aimed at driving progress on the issue of racial and economic inequality on its website, in its People Strategy report, and in its proxy statement. However, the independent audit conducted focused primarily on the company's internal DEI programs, rather than the larger effects of its business practices on systemic racism, such as underwriting municipal bonds that can be used to pay police settlements, and charitable giving to police foundations that can be used to purchase equipment used to surveil communities of color. In addition, there has been a lack of input from "input from civil rights organizations, employees, and customers" to contribute to an independent audit. |
