Goldman Sachs names 109 partners but withholds diversity data

Goldman Sachs announced on Thursday that it had named 109 new partners, the largest class since 2010 and an increase from 95 in 2024, for a group set to take effect on January 1, 2027. Unlike its 2024 announcement, the bank did not provide the customary breakdown of the partners by gender and race. A Goldman executive told Reuters that the changing legal climate influenced the decision to withhold the figures, while maintaining that workforce diversity remains important to the bank’s business. About 85% of the newcomers work in revenue-generating businesses, Reuters reported. This comes as US companies increasingly avoid diversity disclosures and the Trump administration challenges certain corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
