Human Capital Management (HCM). HCM has been one of BlackRock's top priorities since 2017. Under the new proxy voting guidelines, BlackRock expects companies to disclose the information typically required under the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's EEO-1 Survey including workforce demographics like gender, race and ethnicity and the steps that companies are taking to advance diversity, equity and inclusion. BlackRock may consider voting against relevant members of the appropriate committee or in support of relevant shareholder proposals if it believes that a company's disclosures or practices fall short of industry standards or are ineffective at overseeing the risks and opportunities inherent in HCM.
