Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusion and diversity are key to our success. By fully leveraging our diverse experiences, backgrounds and insights, we can inspire innovation, challenge the status quo and create better outcomes for our people and our clients. 

We embrace the diverse range of visible and invisible attributes that characterize our workforce, the markets in which we operate, our business partners and the investors we serve around the world. We foster an inclusive environment that brings out the best in all of our people. While we have made progress in the area of inclusion and diversity, we recognize that we still have work to do. We take an active approach to promote inclusion and diversity with our own employees, with our clients and business partners and beyond our walls.

Our active approach with our people

BlackRock is committed to cultivating and advancing diversity in all forms because we believe a wide range of perspectives and talent is crucial to creating a richer culture for our employees and a greater experience for our diversified global client base.

Senior business leaders make sure that all employees in their groups understand why diversity is important for success and equip them with tools and knowledge to foster inclusion.

We have made inclusive leadership and management a core leadership competency. In 2015, more than 2,600 managers and leaders globally participated in Driving Better Decisions, an initiative that helps leaders and managers understand how unconscious bias works and, most importantly, provides concrete tools and guidance on how to take action to mitigate bias in key people and business decisions. As part of this program, we have redesigned key human resources processes to minimize the potential for bias and foster diversity. BlackRock’s efforts to use diversity as a driver of success were profiled in a 2015 Harvard Business School case study.

We hold our businesses accountable for progress in inclusion and diversity. During our Quarterly Business Reviews, we have focused conversations with each business about their plans and progress. We report our progress against our inclusion and diversity initiatives regularly to our Board of Directors.
As a signatory of HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter, which seeks to build a more balanced and diverse financial services industry, BlackRock is committed to achieving 30% female representation in senior management by 2020.

What we stand for

Our mission is to create a better financial future for our clients. As we pursue that mission, we’re guided by our culture and a set of principles that ensure we never forget what we stand for.

We are a fiduciary to our clients

Their interests come first—always. We speak with the courage of our convictions. We say what we do and do what we say. We have a responsibility to be the voice of the investor, and we represent each client fairly and equally.

We are passionate about performance

We are passionate about our work and intensely focused on performing at the highest levels. Our success requires that we out-think and out-work our competitors. We prize strong subject matter expertise and an insatiable appetite to learn.

We are one BlackRock

We know that the best solutions result from the ideas and contributions of a diverse team of partners. Diversity strengthens us and delivers better results for our clients. We expect our employees to have a strong working knowledge of the firm beyond their core responsibilities. Constant communication is critical to our success.

We are innovators

Continuous innovation helps us bring the best of BlackRock to our clients. Innovation requires us to be respectfully anti-bureaucratic, to challenge the status quo and not be afraid of failure. We’re proud of our long history of innovation, and that history of introducing new and innovative approaches across our entire business has been the foundation of our success.
