Integrated, Materiality-driven Approach

At KKR, we view sustainability as a key lever in fulfilling our responsibility as long-term stewards of our clients’ capital. Grounded in 50 years of investing, we take a business-first, materiality-driven approach — using sustainability as one of many tools to protect capital and create value, shaping how and where we invest.

Our Focus Areas to Protect Capital and Create Value

We believe our materiality-driven approach is crucial to our ability to understand the range of business-relevant factors that could impact the commercial outcomes of our investments, and, therefore, our ability to deliver on behalf of our clients. Our approach to integrating sustainability in our investment activities encompasses the following key strategies aimed at safeguarding and enhancing value:
