Caroline Cawley – Business for Biodiversity Ireland

We are pleased to announce that Business for Biodiversity Ireland is partnering with the Business Post ESG and Sustainability Summit 2026, taking place at Croke Park, Dublin on 15 April.

The Summit will convene senior leaders from business, government and finance to examine how organisations are embedding ESG into strategy, operations and reporting. This year’s agenda focuses on practical delivery, including climate transition planning, nature and biodiversity, resilient supply chains, governance standards and the skills required to compete in a lower-carbon economy.

Our Business Programme Lead Caroline Cawley will join the Nature panel to discuss how it can affect decision-making in supply chains, finance, business strategy, risk management and investment. Our team will also be on site to participate in the day’s discussions, with an exhibition stand to chat about our work with businesses on Ireland’s Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme.

Business for Biodiversity Ireland’s partnership reflects our commitment to advancing credible, commercially grounded sustainability leadership and to contributing to informed, cross-sector dialogue on the future of responsible business.

As part of this partnership, Business for Biodiversity Ireland is offering an exclusive 15% discount on delegate tickets. To avail of this discount, BFBI Members can enter BFDESG15 when registering to attend.

We look forward to working together to deliver a focused and solutions-driven forum for organisations navigating the ESG agenda.

Caroline, who will be working with our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme member organisations as they progress through our workshop series for 2026, is a senior sustainability and circularity leader with over 15 years’ experience helping organisations embed sustainability, climate action, circularity, and nature considerations into core business strategy and decision-making.

She has worked across consumer electronics, telecommunications, and environmental services sectors, building and leading sustainability functions, developing materiality-led ESG strategies, targets and reporting frameworks, and delivering Net Zero roadmaps and decarbonisation programmes aligned with the Science-based Targets Initiative. Caroline is recognised for her ability to connect sustainability priorities with commercial outcomes, risk management and long-term value creation. She is also recognised as an expert in fostering circular cultures and ways of working in organisations.

Most recently, Caroline served as Head of Corporate Sustainability at Bang & Olufsen, where she established the company’s sustainability function and integrated circularity, product longevity and climate targets into corporate strategy, financing, governance and product development. She has also held a senior sustainability role with TDC Group in Denmark and with Liberty Global in the Netherlands, delivering commercially impactful initiatives in circular and sustainable product design, eco-packaging, supply chains and energy management.

Caroline holds an MBA from Rotterdam School of Management and an MSc in Environmental Science from Trinity College Dublin. She brings a strong business-led perspective to advancing a circular, low-carbon and nature-positive economy which will be a real asset to the delivery of our programme guiding Irish businesses to boost resilience with a strong nature strategy.
