Principles for Responsible Investment

BlackRock has been a signatory to the United Nations supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2008. Our participation as a signatory primarily consists of responding to PRI’s annual survey in service to our clients who are interested in PRI's assessment. From time to time, we may also participate in asset class specific working groups.

PRI’s 2024 assessment methodology for investors can be found here and its investor reporting guidance can be found here. For more information see the About PRI page of the organization’s website.
