BlackRock shares gain for a second session in a row on Friday, Exxon should reveal more details regarding climate change-related risks, asset manager says

On June 9th BlackRock Inc (BLK) has reportedly said that Exxon Mobil Corp should “enhance its disclosures” in regard to climate change-associated risks. The asset management firm is Exxons third largest investor holding a stake of more than 4%.

BlackRock shares closed higher for a second straight trading session on Friday. The stock went up 0.79% ($3.27) to $418.50, after touching an intraday high at $419.04 and also a fresh all-time high. In the week ended on June 11th the shares of the NYSE-listed investment management company added 0.91% to their market value compared to a week ago, which marked a fifth consecutive period of gains. The stock has extended its advance to 2.26% so far during the current month, following a 6.41% surge in May. The latter has been a second consecutive monthly gain and also the sharpest one since November 2016. For the entire past year, the shares of BlackRock Inc (BLK) gained 11.75%.

According to the asset managers statement, a request has been made for a meeting with Exxon Mobils independent directors during the past two years.

On the other hand, as reported by Reuters, the oil company refused to make directors available due to a non-engagement policy between shareholders and members of the board.
