NEW - Episode IV: How can handling data responsibly make companies more sustainable?

The replay of this program is available. Watch now!

As digitization moves business and commerce online, managing data responsibly is becoming a more important issue for companies in all sectors and regions. Data responsibility and cybersecurity issues pose a serious reputational risk, are an increasing focus of regulators around the world, and can seriously impact a company’s bottom line.

In our latest episode of “Investing in Sustainability,” we’ll hear from Alexandra Reeve Givens, President & CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology, about the implications of collecting and sharing customer and user data and why data policies should matter to CEOs and investors alike.

Next, we’ll hear from a panel of KKR experts about why we believe cybersecurity is a promising growth area for investment and how we secure KKR’s key assets from a cybersecurity perspective.
