Goldman Sachs Group

Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a global financial services institution headquartered in the United States, with divisions focused on investment banking, asset management, markets, and investments. Goldman Sachs does not have significant water demand or supply in its direct operations, with use limited to office spaces and business premises. However, it can be more broadly exposed to water through its investments in infrastructure, sustainable finance, and environmental due diligence services.

Goldman Sachs invests predominantly through asset finance and investments rather than delivering water solutions through its operations. The firm has invested in Treysta, a water engineering and planning business working on water procurement, filtration, distribution, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. It has also invested in Atlas-SSI, a water intake screen and water infrastructure management system provider that works to safeguard water infrastructure and aquatic life.

Goldman Sachs has used investment capital to facilitate specific water solutions. Its investment in Regenergy Frvi supports hydroponic greenhouse cultivation that recycles waste heat from industrial processes and consumes up to 90% less water per tomato compared with field-grown crops. In 2025, the firm helped Italy-based utility A2A raise €155 million through Italy's first official "blue bond," the proceeds from which are used to finance projects including potable water infrastructure, wastewater treatment, urban runoff control, and water leak detection and reduction.

Goldman Sachs also incorporates water considerations into its due diligence process for acquisitions. The firm's policy for water infrastructure and oil and gas transactions outlines issues including wastewater disposal, groundwater quality testing, water withdrawal, impacts on water quality and biodiversity, and access to water for local communities.
