In light of the events, David Koch has publicly expressed deep regret for his past actions and admitted that he feels “shame and regret” for his actions. For many years, he actively promoted and supported certain political and economic ideas that had a negative impact on society and the environment. However, with age and wisdom, Koch has come to realize the importance of sincerity, ethics, and concern for the well-being of people and the planet.
He recognizes his role in some of the challenges we face today and advocates for the active development of community programs to combat climate change, conserve natural resources and promote social justice. Koch encourages other business leaders and policymakers to be open to change, recognize their mistakes, and strive for positive change in their fields of endeavor.
