focused on our investment model, dedicated to our one-firm culture,
and committed to responsibly managing ESG issues in our investment
decisions,” said Henry Kravis and George Roberts, Co-Chairmen and
Co-CEOs of KKR. “Our understanding of today’s ever-changing world,
coupled with our commitment to be a responsible investor, provides
us with a differentiated view – one that we believe will help us
and our partners achieve continued success during the next 40 years
and beyond.”

- Introducing an Eco-Innovation Award for
portfolio companies, in the spirit of innovation and value
