An amphiphilic polystyrene‐polyethylene glycol (PS‐PEG) resin‐supported ruthenium complex was designed and prepared. The polymeric Ru complex was found to promote the transition metal‐catalyzed atom transfer radical addition of halogenated compounds to olefins, the Kharasch reaction, in water under heterogeneous as well as AIBN‐free conditions with a high level of atom economy to meet green chemical requirements.
