BlackRock: More Bull on Wall Street?
Is investment firm BlackRock really using their power for good? In this episode, we grab the bull by the horns to find out if BlackRock is truly pushing for change. $9,000,000,000,000. That’s the amount of money Larry Fink and his colleagues at BlackRock manage. Over the past few years, Mr. Fink has begun to use his powerful position to promote the need for all companies to become purpose-led and create positive social and environmental impact. Can BlackRock drive real change? And to do so, who might they need to piss off? In this episode, we dive deep into the world’s largest asset manager to uncover the balance between Fink’s message and the constraints that might hold BlackRock back. Guests: Andrew Behar - CEO of As You Sow & Author Matthew Weatherley-White - Former Co-Founder & Managing Director of The CAPROCK Group Tariq Fancy - Founder & CEO of the Rumie Initiative, Former CIO of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock We’d love to hear what you think about the show.
