K. K. R. = KKR. So, what is KKR? KKR is an investment firm that specializes in “Responsible Investment” by putting money into companies that focus on intelligently managing environmental, social and governance issues. Whatever.
KKR has global reach. One program is called KKR Global Impact Fund which invests based on an organization’s ability to implement the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically ones relating to “climate action, lifelong learning, sustainable living, and inclusive growth”. Funded partners during the pandemic include businesses involved in (I kid you not) remote learning, management of pandemic-related waste, and helping businesses navigate the UK’s new pandemic regulations. Non pandemic investments include organizations working on the usual clean water, disadvantaged education type programs.
