BlackRock Investment Stewardship

BlackRock is not in the position to dictate a company’s strategy or its implementation. We engage on long-term corporate strategy, purpose and financial resilience to understand how companies are aligning their business decision-making with their purpose and adjusting their strategy and/or capital allocation plans to address the risks and opportunities of their operations in order to deliver long-term value for their shareholders.

Appropriate and transparent compensation policies are a focus in many of BIS’ engagements with the companies in which we invest on behalf of clients. Investors benefit when companies disclose how they seek to ensure that compensation policies and outcomes are consistent with the financial interests of long-term shareholders.

BIS engages with companies to better understand their approach to, and oversight of, climate-related risks and opportunities as well as how they manage material natural capital impacts and dependencies, in the context of their business model and sector.

Our Climate Focus Universe

Our participation in Climate Action 100+

In our experience, companies are better positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value when they build strong relationships throughout their value chain, including with employees, business partners (such as suppliers and distributors), clients and consumers, regulators, and the communities in which companies operate. We appreciate when companies disclose how they consider the interests of these key stakeholders in their business decision-making and how they implement processes to identify, manage, and prevent adverse human rights impacts that could expose them to material risks.
