We invest responsibly. KKR has a history of long-term investments that not only build value for stakeholders, but also address social, economic, and environmental issues.

Alignment of Interests

At our founding in 1976, we created a new business model built around a core philosophy: people can accomplish great things when they work together and their interests are aligned. Our approach was to build, improve, and revive companies by aligning the interests of those who fund them, manage them, and work at them. This is the core of KKR and it remains our approach today.

While our firm has evolved over the past 32 years, we have grown by staying true to our core philosophy. We have a responsibility to ensure that our portfolio companies operate in a way that aligns the interests of stakeholders such as: employees, customers and investors. Our definition of stakeholders extends broadly and includes a commitment to the communities in which our businesses operate, and efforts to enhance environmental stewardship in the companies in which we invest. It also includes a responsibility for ensuring that those businesses operate according to the highest legal and ethical standards.
