The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. was formed in 1882 but only officially began doing business as an investment bank in 1906. The company expanded greatly during the 1920s and 1930s as it contributed to the US economy’s emerging success. During World War 2, Goldman Sachs supported the US war effort by funding various arms of the military. After the war, the company began expanding its operations into the securities and investment management businesses.

It has become a powerhouse of the financial industry and its investment bankers are well-known as some of the best in the business.
The company has faced criticism due to its strong connections to the government, particularly during the Wall Street financial crisis and the Great Recession. Since then, it has made changes to its business strategy, with a focus on more sustainable, socially responsible investments. Goldman Sachs is currently a leader in climate change initiatives, and has made significant investments in renewable energy and related equity and debt securities.
