### What it says

Numbers as stated by BlackRock, Aug 12, 2026

- BlackRock says the same $1 million stake equals removing 212 cars from roads and yields 1,128 MWh of renewable power generated each year. (BlackRock, p. 1)

- BlackRock also counts 101 MWh of yearly energy savings, 3,441 m3 of water saved annually and 95,783 passenger-km of public transit use per $1 million. (BlackRock, p. 1)

- BlackRock notes its analysis covers 85% of the fund's constituents, and because issuers do not all report each metric, the results should not be extrapolated. (BlackRock, p. 1)

- BlackRock cites the European Investment Bank, a 6.73% fund weight, whose 2024 green bond allocations are estimated to cut 3.9 million tons of GHG emissions per annum. (BlackRock, p. 6)
