EDF Partnership
KKR takes our responsibility to the environment seriously and seeks to adopt and implement environmentally sound policies in our portfolio companies, and our own internal operations. In May 2008, KKR announced a groundbreaking partnership with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) — a leading national non-profit organization with more than 500,000 members. Through this first-of-its-kind partnership, known as the “Green Portfolio” Project, we are working together to measure and improve the environmental performance of companies within KKR’s U.S. portfolio, similar to the way KKR drives financial improvement.
Building on the Success of the Historic TXU Transaction
This partnership is a direct result of KKR’s work with EDF and other environmental leaders during the TXU acquisition last year. That historic transaction was a significant step forward in incorporating environmental considerations into investment decisions as it set a new standard for conservation and efficiency in the energy industry.
