BlackRock and its Board of Directors believe diversity in the boardroom is critical to the success of BlackRock and its ability to create long-term value for our shareholders. In our experience, greater diversity in the boardroom contributes to more robust discussions and more innovative and resilient decisions. Over time, greater diversity in the boardroom can also promote greater diversity and resilience in the leadership team, and the workforce more broadly. Highly qualified, engaged directors with professional characteristics relevant to our business enhance the ability of the Board to add value and be the voice of shareholders in Board discussions. The Board has and will continue to take into consideration diversity in gender, race/ethnicity, age, career experience, sexual orientation and nationality – as well as diversity of mind when considering Director candidates. The diverse backgrounds of our individual Directors help the Board better oversee BlackRock’s management and operations and assess risk and opportunities for the Company’s business model from a variety of perspectives. BlackRock’s commitment to Board diversity enhances the Board’s involvement in our Company’s multi-faceted long-term strategy and inspires deeper engagement with management, employees and clients around the world.
