- nabla9 9y agoWhere Black Rock and others could really big positive impact is enforcing the good corporate governance practices. I know that asset managers like Black Rock have showed some initiative, but they surely could use much heavier hand.

- jshaqaw 9y agoBlackrock’s attempt to distract public and political attention from the fact that they control such a vast amount of capital. Good PR. Won’t achieve anything but good PR.
- apple4ever 9y agoSounds like I'll be divesting myself from any BlackRock investments. I invest to make money, not for some "social justice" platform which usually is justice only for the chosen. Plus the focus on the "climate", a non-science based position is dumb.
