From Breakingviews - Larry Fink finds way to dodge ESG crosshairs
, he stressed that BlackRock expects the companies it invests in to have some sort of plan to decarbonise their businesses by 2050. BlackRock still backs these objectives, but Fink’s 2023 letter doesn’t even mention ESG. Instead, he notes that government policy, technological innovation and consumer preferences will determine the pace of decarbonisation. He also stresses it’s not minority shareholders’ place to tell companies what to do.
That in itself reflects BlackRock’s invidious position between green lobbyists that want it to use its heft to doon climate change and U.S. states that will pull cash if it does so. It has for some time tried to distance itself from those who see the energy transition as an immediate charge out of fossil fuels. The good news for Fink is that U.S. banking collapses and spiralling inflation mean his detractors’ attention is, at least for now, elsewhere.
