Community Development and Support for Women and the Elderly

Since 2003, the Goldman Sachs has maintained strategic partnerships with 22 domestic
non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In collaboration with Samsung Medical Center and the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM),
the company has been running the BRAVO program, which supports breast cancer patients in returning to everyday life and society. It is also carrying out projects to raise awareness and provide preventive education on breast cancer in the workplace. Additionally, in partnership with the Seoul Foundation of Women & Family, the company has conducted a ‘Women’s Entrepreneurship Support Education Program,’ offering free lectures and training to over 100 aspiring women entrepreneurs.

in 2014, the company partnered with Woowa Brothers Corp., following a consortium investment of KRW 40 billion, to establish the non-profit organization ‘Milk Delivery for Checking on the Elderly,’ working to build a social safety net to prevent the lonely deaths of elderly individuals living alone. Through the Community Teamworks (CTW) program, the company has also contributed more than 6,000 hours of volunteer service, continuing its efforts to promote the development of the local community in Korea.
