Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at BlackRock

BlackRock was founded on the premise of understanding and managing investment risk, anticipating our clients’ needs, and supporting them in achieving their long-term investment goals. That is why we look at sustainability information — as an investor and a fiduciary.

Environmental Sustainability

Building better futures through sound environmental management is important to our employees, clients and other stakeholders, and key to securing our future. This long-term view comes to life in our commitment to saving, protecting and restoring our natural environment by better managing our resources in the operations of our business.

In operating our business, BlackRock pursues a sustainability strategy that seeks to decouple company growth from our impact on the environment, while increasing the efficiency and resiliency of our operations. Finding innovative ways to power our business with renewable energy, lower our emissions and reduce waste, among other efforts, reduces our environmental impact.

We provide opportunities for employees to engage on sustainability-themed initiatives and outside of the office, we encourage employees to give back and volunteer in their local communities on various environmental efforts around the globe.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

Social Impact at BlackRock consists of two distinct pillars: The BlackRock Foundation which focuses on helping people build financial security and participate in an inclusive transition to a low-carbon future, and our employee engagement programs which equip employees to be agents of social change in their communities.
