BlackRock, the largest investment bank in the world with some $10 trillion in assets under management, is hurting. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink insists that public companies adopt ESG (environment, social, governance) policies that include reducing CO2 emissions. Fink’s demands are tantamount to divesting (or refusing to invest in) any company that produces or heavily uses oil and natural gas. Yet in the company’s latest annual letter to investors, Fink says the oil and gas industry is essential in meeting global energy needs, despite the increasing shift towards renewable energy sources. He says BlackRock love investing in O&G. He is categorically lying to avoid more action by states in dropping BlackRock funds.
