We're helping our clients navigate the low-carbon transition
The low-carbon transition is reshaping production and consumption across regions and sectors. It’s affecting how people buy, sell, make, and move things.
We see the transition to a low-carbon economy having implications for macroeconomic trends and portfolios. We are providing clients with the solutions and tools to help them achieve their investment objectives.
To serve our clients, we have 600+ global sustainable and transition specialists focused on providing customized insights, data and a choice of investment solutions and technology tailored to our clients' needs.
We approach this work solely in service of our clients' best financial interests. That is the foundation upon which we built BlackRock into the most trusted asset manager in the world1 – a total focus on our clients, underpinned by our respect for their diverse preferences and uniqueness.
Why does the low-carbon transition matter for our clients?
Structural shifts associated with the low-carbon transition – technological innovation, consumer and investor preferences for lower-carbon products, and shifts in government policies – are reshaping production and consumption and spurring capital investment.
Our global team of investment and sector specialists, climate scientists, data analysts, and engineers research macroeconomic and investment trends related to the transition, in order to evaluate risks and opportunities and deliver unique insights to clients.
Three forces are driving this economic transformation, with implications across regions and sectors

What we’re hearing from clients
Clients are asking for our perspective on the long-term mega forces – including the transition to a low-carbon economy – that will impact portfolios, for analytics that will help them measure and track those forces, and for products across the whole portfolio that will help them capitalize on opportunities to meet their investment objectives.

Transformation in action
BlackRock partners with companies that are developing innovative solutions to transform industries. An example is our work on battery storage, which can act as backup power in times of strain or failure. We invest, on behalf of clients, in companies like Akaysha Energy, who are working to develop solutions to support existing energy systems.
Our fiduciary approach to sustainability and the low-carbon transition
As a fiduciary, our approach to investing in this transition is the same as our approach across our platform: we provide choice to our clients; we seek the best risk-adjusted returns within the mandates clients give us; and we underpin our work with research, data, and analytics.
