Collaborating on Change

Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation

While each of our individual companies serves its own corporate purpose, we share a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders. We commit to:

§ Delivering value to customers

§ Investing in our employees

§ Dealing fairly and ethically with suppliers

§ Supporting the communities in which we work

§ Generating long-term value for shareholders, who provide the capital that allows companies to invest, grow and innovate

“ESG: No Longer an Option for Long-Term Strategy …addressing material ESG issues is good business practice and essential to a company’s long-term financial performance – a matter of value, not values.”

ESG-Centric Leadership Outperforms

2020 Letter to Board Members

Martin WhittakerCEO

Larry Fink’s 2020 Letter to CEOs

“We believe this [crisis] is the acid test for all this talk about purpose and stakeholder capitalism.”

“A strong sense of purpose and a commitment to stakeholders helps a company connect more deeply to its customers and adjust to the changing demands of society.

Ultimately, purpose is the engine of long-term profitability.”
