WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday charged Goldman Sachs (NYSE:) Asset Management for failing to follow its policies and procedures involving ESG investments.

Without admitting or denying the regulator’s findings, Goldman Sachs Asset Management agreed to pay a $4 million penalty, the SEC added.
