Sustainable & transition investing with BlackRock
Clients are increasingly asking BlackRock how to mitigate risks to their portfolios, and capture investment opportunities associated with sustainability and the transition to a low-carbon economy. As a fiduciary, we invest on our clients’ behalf to help them meet their investment objectives. Our investment approach is informed by three principals: we provide choice, we seek the best risk-adjusted returns with the mandates clients give us, and we underpin our work with research, data, and analytics.
Capital at risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.
What is sustainable investing?
BlackRock believes that investments that consider sustainable metrics can help clients pursue long-term success in their portfolio.
To navigate the evolving sustainable landscape, investors require new guidelines, definitions and frameworks.
Sustainability is BlackRock’s standard for investing
Our investment conviction is that climate risk is investment risk, and that integrating climate and sustainability considerations into investment processes can help investors build more resilient portfolios and achieve better long-term, risk-adjusted returns.
We believe that society is on the cusp of transformational change towards sustainability. Companies, investors and governments must prepare for a significant reallocation of capital. BlackRock’s sustainability strategy focuses on two structural themes driving this change: transition finance and stakeholder capitalism.
Our investment approach to sustainable & transition investing
Our approach to sustainability and the transition to a low-carbon economy is rooted in our fiduciary duty to our clients.
