BlackRock is the world ’ s largest investment manager and is positioning itself as an industry leader for ESG considerations in investments .

It has predicted that by 2030 at least 75 % of its investments will be in businesses that have science based targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions .

“ The ‘ E ’ and ‘ S ’ of ESG are two sides of the same coin ,” says Nate Hurst , Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer , Managing Director of BlackRock Foundation .

“ We can ’ t talk about climate change and the energy transition without recognising their impacts on people and communities . That ’ s why I ’ m excited to have expert minds across sustainability and social impact sitting around the same table and tackling these complex issues together .

“ Working at a place and with people that rally around the same call to action makes it easy to walk in lockstep towards its reality .”

Larry Fink . CEO , BlackRock
