Media Alert: Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women B-Roll Availability

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS):
What: Increasing the entrepreneurial talent and managerial pool in
developing and emerging economies - especially among women - is
one of the most important means to reducing inequality and
ensuring more shared economic growth. Goldman Sachs today
announced 10,000 Women, a global corporate engagement
initiative to deliver a business and management education to
10,000 underserved women around the world. Through partnerships
between universities in the U.S. and Europe (see below) and
business schools in emerging and developing countries, 10,000
Women also will seek to have a lasting impact on the quality
and capacity of business education in developing regions around
the world.

10,000 Women was inspired by economic research from Goldman
Sachs that showed the powerful effects of greater labor force
participation of women on economies and societies. The company
will commit $100 million to this initiative over the next five
years and its people will contribute their time and expertise
through classroom instruction and mentoring. 10,000 Women will
work with development organizations to better understand the
local challenges girls and young women must overcome so more of
them can realize economic opportunity and achieve their full
potential. Many of these partnerships will seek to establish
mentoring and networking channels for women and encourage
career development opportunities.
