Despite major promises to put climate at the center of its business, BlackRock continues to be one of the world’s biggest funders of the mining, agribusiness and fossil fuel companies that are involved in conflicts affecting Indigenous peoples and their territories.

In 2020, BlackRock hinted it would take a new approach on deforestation and biodiversity, and yet its recently announced commitments failed to provide any meaningful measures on how the company will conduct due diligence on Indigenous rights and deforestation risks.
