据油价网2022年10月19日报道，全球最大资产管理公司贝莱德公司(BlackRock)在书面答复英国议会一个委员会关于金融部门在英国净零碳转型过程中所扮演角色的调查时表示，贝莱德公司将不会停止投资石油、天然气或煤炭。
当被问及贝莱德公司是否支持“不需要对煤炭、石油和天然气进行新的投资”的净零假设时，这个全球著名资产管理公司回答说“不”。 路透社援引了环境审计委员会在提交证据期间收到的数十份金融和环境机构的声明。
这家全球最大资产管理公司补充说：“贝莱德公司在转型过程中扮演的角色是我们客户的受托人，而不是在实体经济中策划具体的脱碳结果。”
在最近几周里，美国多个州表示，他们将从贝莱德公司管理层撤回州资金，因他们不认同贝莱德公司的ESG投资政策。在短短几周内，路易斯安那州、南卡罗来纳州、犹他州和阿肯色州先后宣布将从贝莱德公司撤资，撤资总额超过10亿美元。
10月初，路易斯安那州财政部长约翰·施罗德致信贝莱德公司首席执行官拉里·芬克，宣布将从贝莱德公司撤资。施罗德指出，到目前为止，路易斯安那州已经撤资5.6亿美元，到年底前将撤资7.94亿美元。
好几个月以来，美国共和党人控制的州已经表示，他们将不再与那些拥有与ESG一致投资政策的资产管理公司进行业务往来。这些州表示，这表明那些金融公司正在抵制石油和天然气行业。

BlackRock Says It Won’t Stop Investing In Coal, Oil, And Natural Gas
BlackRock will not stop investing in oil, natural gas, or coal, the world’s largest asset manager told a UK parliamentary committee in written responses to an inquiry on the role of the financial sector in the UK’s net-zero transition.
Asked if BlackRock supports a net-zero scenario in which “no new investment is needed in coal, oil, and gas,” the asset manager responded: “No.”, Reuters reported, citing dozens of statements from financial and environmental institutions the Environmental Audit Committee has received during the period of submitting evidence.
“BlackRock’s role in the transition is as a fiduciary to our clients – it is not to engineer a specific decarbonization outcome in the real economy,” the asset manager added.
In recent weeks, multiple U.S. states have said they would withdraw state funds from BlackRock’s management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world’s top asset manager. Over the course of just a few weeks, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, and Arkansas announced they would divest funds from BlackRock totaling more than $1 billion.
In early October, Louisiana State Treasurer John Schroder announced in a letter to BlackRock’s chief executive Larry Fink that he would divest all Treasury funds from BlackRock. Louisiana has removed $560 million to date and will pull out a total of $794 million by year’s end, Schroder noted.
For months now, Republican states have said they would no longer do business with asset managers who have ESG-aligned investment policies, which, the states say, show that those financial firms are boycotting the oil and gas industry.
