Private equity which has been a dirty word to the trade unions the world over, is trying to turn the corner through its socially responsible investments and practices. Private equity funding firms without losing their focus on their objectives are yet trying to change the old order where the concerns of the individuals were given precedence over that of the society. Ethicalcorp.com has outlined in its publication how private equity firms and socially responsible investments are now successfully co-existing to create the new order. Even global acquisition giants like Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co who specialize in leveraged buyouts as part of their private equity participation are not averse to negotiations to discuss the socially relevant issues of the buyouts.
With experts like Ken Mehlman in their ranks, the buyout processes now engulf the world economic practices. With wide ranging experience and a highly celebrated CV Mehlman in his capacity as the Head of the Global Public Affairs of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co naturally is in the forefront of restoring the credibility of the investment funding. And his fruitful stints at distinguished institutions like the White House and Holocaust Memorial museum, has provided Ken Mehlman with business outlook that encompass the present global green vision. He understands perfectly that maintaining green technologies are not only socially correct but bring in profits to the organizations. Thus Ken Mehlman successfully involved the expertise of Environment Defense Fund managers to improve the green initiatives of the company in the leveraged buyout of the Texas Utilities.
