COVID-19 Response

During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the Kroll Charitable Foundation joined the COVID ZERO Business Coalition, after becoming one of the first donors to pledge funds to support research and development into a COVID-19 vaccine. We consider this an important ESG investment and good corporate governance.

The Kroll Charitable Foundation granted its largest single donation of $250,000 to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) who make up the COVID ZERO vaccine development unit.
Launched in Davos 2017, CEPI is a global alliance between public, private, philanthropic and civil society organizations financing coordinating and accelerating the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases.
Approximately USD 2.8 billion is the average minimum cost for progressing one vaccine, and the Kroll Charitable Foundation is proud to support the acceleration of a COVID-19 vaccine to be made available through a globally fair allocation system.

In early 2020, the Kroll Charitable Foundation also donated $25,000 to the World Health Organization to support health and research activity related to the outbreak in the Asia Pacific region.
