			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts &#038; Co (KKR) was set up by Henry Kravis and his business partner George Roberts in the mid seventies with some support from the First Chicago Corporation. Recently they have put together a remarkable green enterprise that centers not just on how much money they can net, but likewise on how ecologically friendly each of their companies are.</p>
<p>When Henry Kravis from KKR and the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) merged last year green issues suddenly became a mainstream idea. These companies was forged to oppose a number of primary green matters, such as hazardous chemical use, resource depletion, extreme consumption of water resources, and hazardous chemicals. To achieve this, they apply eco-efficiency; this calls for concepts such as maximum use of renewable resources, using clean energy, and optimizing data centers for efficiency. Although the project was an enormous success, managment simply didn&#8217;t recognize how far reaching the consequences actually were until <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/01/business/01enviro.html?_r=1&#038;scp=11&#038;sq=environment&#038;st=nyt&#038;oref=slogin">Ken Mehlman</a>, the man responsible for the Green Portfolio Project, reviewed the first year&#8217;s profits.</p>
<p>Beating everyone&#8217;s expectations, Ken saw that eco-efficiency not only cut down on the impact on the planet, but also increased the profits from all their business organizations too. Nearly all of the commercial organizations connected with KKR and Ken Mehlman nowadays are participating in eco-efficiency. Considering that the portfolio is worth nearly one hundred billion USD, you can see what an achievement this actually was.</p>
<p>KKR in association with <a href="http://theenergycollective.com/Podcasts/35006">Ken Mehlman</a> are extending the original Green Portfolio project. The Climate Corps Program set up by the EDF is just one of these, it raises awareness of cost-effective, planet friendly principles to MBA interns.</p>
<p>In recent months, Ken Mehlman has worked closely with Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts &#038; Co to produce analytic tools and other related systems which business concerns can employ to quantify resources. These metrics allow staff to track their progress and discover any underlying problems.</p>
<p>The business world has been entirely revolutionized by the pioneering work of <a href="http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/leadership/speakerseries/botwinick/kravis">Henry Kravis</a>, the KKC, and the Environmental Defense Fund. So, to summarize, the work of these organizations has made environmentally friendly business practice not only viable, but commercially desirable, and their revolutionary ideas are setting a new standard in today&#8217;s business world.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a decidedly welcome vogue on the rise, though admittedly many people may not yet be aware about it. Most eminently accomplished CEOs are keen on being constructive community members and the gentleman we are looking at now is no exception, quite the contrary in fact. You will probably have come across Mr. Naveen Jain in connection with him being the co-founder &#038; CEO of Intelius, Inc. a market leader in background checks and public records services. As well as having his position on the Forbes 400 Richest in America list in 2000, this maverick entrepreneur has received multiple coveted awards including the Albert Einstein Technology Medal, the WSA Industry Achievement Award, and the Ernst &#038; Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. But that is definitely not the end of the story. Because Mr. Naveen Jain and his relations are by the same token as enthusiastic about philanthropy and will strive to give succor whenever possible.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You will probably have heard about Mr. Naveen Jain as being the co-founder and CEO of Intelius, Inc. the celebrated information commerce company. In addition to making the Forbes list &#8220;400 Richest in America&#8221; 2000, this enterprising entrepreneur has received several distinguished awards including the WSA Industry Achievement Award, the Ernst &#038; Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and the Albert Einstein Technology Medal. But that is definitely not the end of the story. That&#8217;s because Mr. Naveen Jain and his relatives are equally as passionate about their charity acts and will try to give succor whenever possible.</p>
<p>Our young generation beyond doubt constitute humanity&#8217;s most precious resource. They are moreover an essential focus of attention for this entrepreneur, and he makes the best of any occasion available to help them. This is the chief reason why he is so persistently taking advantage of every opening available to him to offer help whenever it is even remotely possible. Consequently, Naveen Jain, his family and the workers at Intelius, Inc. pledge their time and efforts to various charities e.g. Child Rights and You (CRY), the University of Washington, and TreeHouse. As can be expected, they will assign ample monetary aid, but most importantly, they devote premium time and attention to those youth who require it the most. Furthermore, he is sponsoring the Children&#8217;s Hospital, endeavoring to elevate child health. With Jain being an alumnus of XLRI Jamshedpur and the Indian Institute of Technology, it&#8217;s no surprise that professional training holds an extremely significant status within his benevolent works. This embraces deserving causes and aid organizations local, state, and nationwide. Therefore, <a href="http://www.isearch.com/">Intelius</a> and its CEO are sponsoring deserving interest groups and charities e.g. the Indian American Education Foundation, the Children&#8217;s Hospital and the Rotary Club.</p>
<p>Providing for the world&#8217;s starving represents an additional fundamental challenge to Naveen Jain and his folks and it is of no concern at all to him whether it is a baby in Dacca or Chicago, or an old destitute woman from Tehran or Latin America requiring support. While Naveen is highly aware that the aspiration to feed every hungry mouth in the world can appear to be an overwhelming task, he also recognizes that the irresolvable can indeed come to be reachable assuming each and every one of us toils together. If this entrepreneur should really have his way, there will be a decisive conclusion to destitution and malnourishment in the world some day.</p>
<p>You may think that as the head of a very successful company as well as being a committed husband and family man would leave practically no room for donating and support. Nonetheless, he ensures that every one of his charitable endeavors will be given as much help as he can conceivably marshal. This enterprising man is decidedly a lot more than a mere (though admittedly very successful) steersman of electronic commerce. He is, beyond that, also an absolutely extraordinary individual and an authentic champion of his community.</p>
