The firm notified its clients of this decision on January 9, 2025. This departure follows increasing scrutiny from Republican politicians regarding BlackRock's climate initiatives. The exit is described as the most significant departure yet from the coalition, which focuses on climate finance for investors. BlackRock cited ongoing legal inquiries as a reason for its exit from the group, which has seen a broader trend of Wall Street firms reassessing their commitments to environmental goals.
