From corporate water stewardship and climate resilience to biodiversity and financing nature, Tandem Global CEO Margaret O’Gorman and Chief Science and Innovation Officer Anna Willingshofer will bring perspectives on how companies can translate environmental ambition into practical action and measurable outcomes. “Tandem Global’s work is grounded in a simple premise: meaningful progress happens when business works together with communities, partners and other stakeholders to move from commitments to action,” said Margaret O’Gorman, CEO of Tandem Global. “These conversations provide an important opportunity to share what we are learning, listen to others and identify practical approaches that can advance climate and nature action.” **Brussels: Water Stewardship and Business Value** On October 13, O’Gorman will participate in a Leadership Roundtable at CSR Europe’s European Sustainable Industry Summit 2026 in Brussels. The discussion will focus on water stewardship and approaches that create value for business, nature and communities. **Munich: Building Climate Resilience Through Collaboration** On October 20, Tandem Global will host an Executive Roundtable during Munich Climate Week, presented in partnership with Airbus and Ramboll. The invitation-only discussion will bring together representatives from business, finance, government and academia to explore strategies and collaboration needed to strengthen climate resilience. **Yerevan: Business and Biodiversity at COP17** Tandem Global will then participate in COP17 in Yerevan, Armenia, October 23–27, with O’Gorman and Willingshofer taking part as speakers and moderators in six events focused on corporate action, biodiversity and nature. The program includes discussions on landscape-scale restoration, biodiversity in the energy industry, pollinator protection, measuring net impact across business portfolios and financing nature through business operations. O’Gorman and Willingshofer will also moderate important discussions including the opening panel of the Business and Biodiversity Forum on October 25, examining the current state of business action for biodiversity, and official side event *Protecting Pollinators,* featuring opening remarks from Astrid Schomaker, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity*.* **Tandem Global at COP17** **October 23** *From Corporate Funding to Landscape Impact: Restoring a Globally Rare Ecosystem* 10:00–10:45 | Business and Finance Hub, Action Zone, Blue Zone *Capacity Building for Biodiversity in the Energy Industry* 16:00–16:45 | Business and Finance Hub, Action Zone, Blue Zone *Protecting Pollinators, Transforming Food Systems: A Regional Pathway for Implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework* 18:15-20:00 | Official COP17 Side Event, Aparan Room (JUSCANZ),Blue Zone **October 25** *Opening Panel: The State of Business Action for Biodiversity* 9:00–10:00 | Business and Biodiversity Forum, Blue Zone **October 26** *Measuring Net Impact Across a Business Portfolio* 11:00–11:45 | Business and Finance Hub, Action Zone, Blue Zone **October 27** *Financing Nature Through Business Operations: Turning Everyday Corporate Investment into Biodiversity, Water and Community Outcomes* 9:00–9:45 | Netherlands Pavilion, Blue Zone **Taking the Conversation Forward** “Business has an important role to play in advancing action on nature and biodiversity, but progress depends on moving beyond individual commitments and finding ways to work across sectors and landscapes,” said Anna Willingshofer, Chief Science and Innovation Officer, Tandem Global. “COP17 is an important opportunity to share practical examples and explore how business investment and collaboration can contribute to meaningful outcomes.” The fall engagements reflect Tandem Global’s focus on connecting companies and partners around practical solutions at the intersection of business, climate, water and nature. **Will you be in Europe this October?
