Gold Standard inspires us to think about the impact of our actions on all our stakeholders: investors, private equity sponsors, obligors, employees and society as a whole.
It means we’re committed to being a responsible steward of capital and talent because it’s the right thing to do, it’s aligned with the values of our team and it makes our business stronger.
Investment Process: We believe that careful analysis of material risks related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors helps us make better credit decisions.1
Talent: We believe in nurturing a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment, and in supporting our team with training and development that accelerates their growth.
Impact Philanthropy: We support high impact nonprofit organizations, especially those whose work has a multiplier effect.
We believe our long-term success depends on our ability to recruit and retain top talent. This means fostering an environment that draws on a diversity of life experiences, knowledge, skills and perspectives of our team.
We believe that investing in our people makes our business better and lets us play an active role in bridging the opportunity gap faced by professionals from underserved communities.
We have several Business Resource Groups (BRGs) which support the professional goals, development and engagement of our diverse employee base.
The Golub Capital Labs are designed to engage the next generation of business leaders and academics at leading business schools to accelerate progress across the nonprofit ecosystem, particularly among nonprofits serving members of historically underserved communities.
Each Golub Capital Lab focuses on a distinct lever for improving nonprofit effectiveness, such as machine learning and AI tools, Board governance and leadership development. The growing network of Golub Capital labs includes:
The Golub Capital Lab at Stanford GSB uses digital technology and social science research to improve the effectiveness of leading social sector organizations.
The Golub Capital Lab at Booth features a nonprofit leadership program called IGNITE, created in partnership with the Chicago Urban League. IGNITE is focused on helping support nonprofit leaders serving the Black community to accelerate their impact and the impact of the organizations they lead.
The Golub Capital Lab at Kellogg develops and trains MBAs to become more effective board members via the Golub Capital Board Fellows Program.
A culture of responsibility is what makes ESG more than just letters. We hold ourselves to high standards as part of our commitment to our investors, sponsors, borrowers and colleagues.
