Proxy Voting and Shareholder Engagement

As an independent, fiduciary asset manager, BlackRock is committed to acting at all times in the best long-term interests of our fund investors.  We undertake our corporate governance and responsible investment ("CGRI") activities to protect and enhance the economic value of the companies in which we invest on their behalf. 

The corporate governance program led by the CGRI team is integrated within all portfolios investing in public companies, whether clients invest in specialist ‘SRI’ products or in our core index and fundamental investment strategies.

BlackRock aims to take a common view in-house regarding our engagement and voting policies and utilizes the CGRI group to coordinate, communicate and carry out these policies across more than 90 markets and approximately 14,000 shareholder meetings at which the Firm votes each year. In addition we engage with over 1,000 public companies each year.
