The Blackstone Group

The Blackstone Group

The Blackstone Group is one of the world’s premier investment firms, recognized globally for its alternative asset management. Established with a focus on delivering positive economic impact and long-term value, Blackstone manages an extensive portfolio across various asset classes including private equity, real estate, public debt and equity, non-investment grade credit, real assets, and secondary funds. Its global asset base exceeds $370 billion under management within its investment vehicles, leveraged to solve complex business problems and foster growth in companies and communities worldwide.

Registered in the EU Transparency Register since September 14, 2017, Blackstone’s lobbying efforts primarily target the general impact of EU legislation on its broad investment activities across multiple industrial sectors in Europe. Their EU lobby efforts aim to ensure that regulatory and legislative frameworks accommodate investment dynamics, enhancing capital deployment and operational flexibility.

Blackstone operates from its head office located in London, United Kingdom, leveraging a relatively small but specialized EU lobbying presence. The firm declares minimal lobbying staff in the EU, reflecting a focused lobbying strategy likely carried out alongside their global outreach and direct corporate dialogues.

With a mission deeply rooted in excellence, integrity, and innovation, Blackstone emphasizes stewarding capital with conviction, pursuing high standards of performance for its institutional and individual investors. Their lobbying engagement helps navigate regulatory environments and fosters an investment climate conducive to long-term value creation.
