Ken Mehlman’s Global Philosophy — a Sure Fit for the New Green Business Revolution

Published by Forkids Team at 4:12 am under Business News

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co is a solid player in the world of global equity, but the founders will be the first to tell you that the company’s success is based on the strength of each employeeís philosophy, vision, and determination to live their principles. This concept isn’t new, but it’s definitely working well for KKR. One of biggest outreaches in business today is the push for better environmental management, a “green revolution” that has certainly caught national attention. As KKR turns more and more towards green initiatives in the global equity sector, their star employees seem to be leading the way in making this a permanent change.

Take Ken Mehlman for example. Although Mr. Mehlman has not been directly approached for his thoughts on the company’s march towards the new green revolution, it’s obvious that the senior advisor is definitely on the bandwagon. One only need look at Ken Mehlman’s track record and past achievements to figure out where he stands on the issue of environmental reduction from a business-to-business perspective.

Ken Mehlman is currently the head of Global Public Affairs, a team that’s definitely gotten more attention as KKR’s focus becomes clearer. However, this is not Ken Mehlman’s first brush with efforts for a cleaner, safer, more humanitarian world: the senior advisor also serves on the executive leadership cabinet of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Foundation.

His role as Global Public Affairs lead is the most telling as to his philosophy on environmental management from a business perspective — the most recent news confirms that KKR will be pursuing a green portfolio agenda, with the Global Public Affairs department handling part of the publicity within this initiative.

Overall, Ken Mehlman and the rest of the Global Public Affairs team are definitely on board for the latest leg of the green revolution, and it will be interesting to see the gains that KKR makes in this new facet of the world of global equity.
