Goldman Sachs Goes Green

Fast Company tells us that Goldman Sachs is taking a strong stand for the environment.

Arguably the world's most prestigious investment banking firm, Goldman recently adopted an environmental policy that calls for "world governments to tighten restrictions on greenhouse-gas emissions, commits to investing $1 billion in renewable energy, and proposes a Center for Environmental Markets, a research partnership that will explore how the free-market system can solve environmental problems."

This is the kind of leadership that companies need to emulate quickly.  Green issues are only going to grow and the employees of the future want to work for companies that are truly trying to make a difference. 

This move will only solidify Goldman's position as a global leader and puts them well on the road to becoming a real Citizen Brand.
