BlackRock CEO Larry Fink: Profits With A Purpose Are Vital For Survivability & Profitability | CNBC

[@hubertcordon4392]

Larry Fink at CNBC is home! Means that BlackRock owns CNBC

[@jacksonayres843]

a purpose like a world wide event maybe.

That's how business should be in the first place-working for a vision that unites all under common virtues

CNBC is terrible, how could investors take their opinions seriously?

[@ericanderson3534]

My company is local and its easier for me to work from home. Companies that serve their communities need to focus on their communities, but internet and software companies use employees from anywhere.

[@scottappleton9259]

Regulators should step in for sure.... They are wayyyy too big and are now deciding they want to control all companies decisions effectively?

[@strat1428]

What's the deal with these interviewers?

[@SmearedBlackInk2003]

I think it's pretty clear their representing opposing interests to BlackRock.

[@aminae.2649]

It's either they don't understand or have an agenda... but the quality of their questions is just terrible !

[@Smiley_101]

I totally agree w him long term profitability w a purposes in mind . I love listens to him talk as his visions are very similar to mine . I think he is at a place where he stabled and want to give back to the world but it has to be done tastefully where many future generations can benefits from it too and that where my visions is too . No money will ever be enough to give but best to invest into creating jobs, businesses , farms , manufacturing , educations , technologies , hospitals, healthcare , sustainability etc where everyone can benefits from it . As I believed successful peoples don’t mind giving back when they make it in life and that how I believed we can recycle those money in good uses . The harder you works the more rewards you’ll get . Just how much do you wants it is up to you

I was shocked to see this was from 5 years ago. As I write this here we are in 2023. We currently are seeing the fruits of Blackrock's aggressive "social responsibility" business model. I give kudos for the the other panelists pressing the questions to Fink but they failed to present the clear question of ESG scores. How that will "force behaviors" (Larry Fink's choice of words) in regards to what business decisions they can make. I am uncomfortable with the manner in which Fink invoked Milton Friedman. Anyone with a modicum understanding of Friedman's philosophy is that freedom of choice --- both for the business owner and the consumer is the most viable environment for a functional economy and society. Freedom of choice is the true long term solution.

[@jameshutcheson5718]

Why is it controversial to care about the world? Fink's having to justify his stance with the profitability of caring about social issues; isn't it enough to want to have a positive impact on the world? The planet shouldn't revolve solely around profitability

[@nhanha7433]

They raise fund from investors that mean the investors as partner with the companies. But the owners did make deal and CEO did make deal different than investors alone they hide not share to let investors know

[@nhanha7433]

The bailout and stimulus and the lending monies to companies must meet terms and do things must meet terms and conditions in order for us to help. Not do thing reckless and earn big and recessions

[@balck9.999]

#heartofeuropeisfrankfurt

[@nhanha7433]

The reason CEO make deal with other companies as lending monies or need services at low cost or products from other companies low cost. They should not make investors bankruptcy as well as more companies going out of businesses but they did in recessions

interesting, but what happens if this "purpose" collides with the purpose of a nation?

[@ievazu6371]

I hope that CNBC has reviewed this content from almost 3 years ago and are reconsidering their stance (and the appalling performance of their anchors). Public shame on CNBC, who was already lagging behind the times in 2018, I wonder where do they stand now? Such backward thinking and lack of any knowledge or perspective whatsoever.

[@nhanha7433]

We need to know the companies that able to produce net income they do not have big debts from stimulus and bailout how many of those companies that we know

Profit is a consequence, purpose is the CAUSE! If the purpose is good, the profit is high and durable. If the purpose is bad, profit could be high at first but at the end of the day you will not survive. Is profit for profit a good cause? Not enough. Google didn't become one of the world largest company in the world having profit for profit as a mission, Apple too etc. So is nonsense to talk about profit and "may be" purpose, because purpose is what makes you profitable, and how good is your purpose gives the measure of how much you are profitable and how long your profitability will last.

The long term for 300% or 3000% return it is the crook for hold long. We alway faced with the crook run the nation only 4 years.

[@nhanha7433]

On true documents and deal document they are not fully let the working investors know the plans

I think what Friedman said was the first part of truth. Indeed, the only social responsibility to shareholder is profit. But when you push it further, does my shareholder want long term continuity of profit or just short term? If long term, how are we going to make sure it is long term profitable? Impact Investment and social investment will bring the retention of competent employees, meanwhile keep the profits of shareholders and raise it up. For short term profit, Friedman is right also. The sentence said by Milton Friedman was just half of the sentence and when you further push the sentence into next level, there shouldn't be any aggressive debate like this.

[@nhanha7433]

This chairman is the crook. He saw the poker face

[@nhanha7433]

The health of the citizens must come first. This chairman and Trump release prisons sale arms and drugs and alcohol and cigarettes

[@balck9.999]

😎😁✌️

You are a shill, whereas Friedman was brilliant.

Whatever in the past we will not do the same model for next 4 years under Biden
