BlackRock removed from Texas investment blacklist after rolling back woke policies: ‘We're seeing a course correction'
BlackRock has been removed from Texas's investment blacklist, a major reversal that follows the asset management giant's decision to scale back some of its controversial climate commitments. The move, announced Tuesday by Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, ends a three-year ban that had prevented state pension and investment funds from doing business with the world's largest asset manager over its environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies. 3 BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is seen above on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in April 2025. REUTERS 'This marks a meaningful shift,' Hegar said. 'Texas has played a leadership role in standing up to financial institutions that try to push political agendas under the guise of environmental concern. We're seeing a course correction.' Texas funds hold an estimated $50 billion in assets. A BlackRock spokesperson told The Post: 'We appreciate the Comptroller's resolution of this matter.' 'More than $4 billion in Texas funds are invested with BlackRock,' the rep said. The Larry Fink-led company had $11.55 trillion in assets under management at the end of the fourth quarter in 2024. We are 'proud to help millions of Texans retire with dignity and, on behalf of clients, invests over $400 billion in corporations, local governments, energy infrastructure and other private assets throughout the state,' the spokesperson said 'These investments support the continued growth of the Texas economy.' BlackRock had drawn fire from Republican-led states like Texas for supporting climate-focused investment strategies and for its involvement in initiatives aimed at reducing global emissions. 3 Texas has taken action against companies that have adopted ESG (environmental, social and governance) investment strategies. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is pictured. Jay Janner/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images But over the past year, the New York City-based firm has distanced itself from some of those efforts. In January, it exited the Climate Action 100+ investor group. It also withdrew from the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, a UN-backed coalition focused on reducing portfolio emissions. The rollback appears to have helped smooth tensions with officials in Texas, where fossil fuels remain a key pillar of the economy and political identity. The Texas comptroller's office had added BlackRock and other financial firms to its restricted list in 2022 after lawmakers passed legislation targeting perceived boycotts of the oil and gas industry. That law required the comptroller to identify firms that 'discriminate' against fossil fuel companies and to direct state funds to divest from them. Since then, the blacklist has become a flashpoint in the national debate over ESG investing. 3 BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, overseeing $11.6 trillion in investments across global markets for governments, institutions and individuals. REUTERS While many conservatives have argued that large asset managers wield too much influence in promoting progressive agendas, others — including some within the financial industry — warned that the restrictions risked limiting returns and politicizing fiduciary decision-making. BlackRock has repeatedly pushed back on claims that it engages in coordinated efforts to undermine the fossil fuel sector. 'We never set out to penalize any company,' Hegar said Tuesday, 'but we made clear there would be consequences for putting politics ahead of financial performance.' Despite the thaw in relations, BlackRock remains the subject of a separate legal fight with a coalition of Republican attorneys general, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who allege the firm has violated antitrust laws through its ESG commitments. BlackRock has denied the charges, calling them baseless.

Reform UK to give council Musk-style audit
Reform UK plans to send its Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) team into West Northamptonshire Council to assess "wasteful spending". The council has become one of the frontrunners to receive a visit from the party's new audit team, including software engineers, data analysts and forensic auditors. However, a party spokesperson said there was not currently a timetable for the Northamptonshire visit. The authority's Conservative group leader said savings could be achieved "without the gimmicks". Reform UK took 42 of the 76 seats in the council after the local elections on 1 May to run it as a majority. The party took control of eight authorities from the Conservatives - including neighbouring North Northamptonshire - along with Doncaster from Labour and Durham, which was run as a coalition. The idea follows the US Doge, which was launched in January after President Donald Trump took office to cut federal spending. Billionaire Musk was involved but has since left his position spearheading the unit. Reform UK chair Zia Yusuf announced on X that West Northamptonshire and Lancashire were next in line to be visited by the audit team. Reform UK claimed the work would be completed free of charge. The party said the unit would use artificial intelligence and advanced data analysis tools to find any waste. Although the Doge team would be able to give tips and tricks, elected councillors and leadership would decide whether to act on recommendations. A Reform UK party spokesperson said: "The taskforce will identify and eliminate wasteful spending, increasing transparency and ensuring taxpayer money is spent solely on activity that benefits local people." Mark Arnull, Reform UK leader of West Northamptonshire Council, said: "Since forming the council's new political administration we have been working closely with senior officers, building good relationships and meeting regularly as we start to shape our future priorities for communities across West Northants." Daniel Lister, leader of the Tory opposition, said: "We made over £115m in efficiency savings under the last Conservative administration and we were committed to finding even more, so we know savings can be achieved without the gimmicks. "This new so-called 'efficiency unit', parachuted in and styled on the Trump/Musk Doge model in the United States, delivered only a fraction of the promised savings over there, while increasing spending and gutting support for veterans, the homeless and other essential services. Is that really the reform people voted for? "We will be watching closely to ensure the key services our communities rely on are not sacrificed for short-term political theatre." Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening the first cabinet meeting of the new Reform UK-led council was disrupted by clean air campaigners. It was paused after a number of public speakers refused to stop talking when asked by the leader of the council, and cabinet members briefly left the room. Protestors from Clean Air Northampton and 1,000 Voices spoke on an item about a public space protection order to stop car cruising, which was eventually supported by cabinet - and will be implemented for a maximum period of three years with the opportunity to extend.
