How Goldman Sachs Asset Management forged a partnership for sustainable water.
Our approach to climate change encompasses a holistic view of commercial solutions to mitigate climate risk and capture opportunities that promote environmental progress across growth areas in clean energy, sustainable transport, food and agriculture, waste and materials, and ecosystem services.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) was an anchor investor and partner in the Renewable Resources Group’s Sustainable Water Impact Fund (SWIF).

Renewable Resources Group launched SWIF in partnership with The Nature Conservancy to invest in portfolio companies that will improve the management of surface water, groundwater and farms to more sustainably meet the water supply needs of people, the environment and the agricultural economy. The Nature Conservancy is a technical advisor to the Fund, helping to further enhance sustainability benefits and support habitat and ecosystem restoration across the Fund’s properties. Renewable Resources Group seeks to invest in and operate assets that can set new standards for environmental leadership and social responsibility
