      <image:title>Events - Castle Forum × Octopus Energy: The Future of Business - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first Castle Forum event of 2026 brought together leading experts for a panel discussion and audience dialogue on how business can be a force for good at a time of systemic crisis and short-term political pressure. The discussion explored what credible positive impact looks like in practice, and what it takes to protect purpose when the context shifts. The evening also marked the relaunch of the Castle Debates as Castle Forum, and the first event held following the passing of our founder, Pamela Castle OBE.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - The Energy Dilemmas! - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Castle Debates session examined whether the Government’s Energy Security Strategy and its “bold, new commitments to supercharge clean energy and accelerate deployment” are sufficient to meet 2030 emissions reduction targets and the Sixth Carbon Budget. The discussion explored choices across energy supply, the electrification of transport, and the heating and cooling of buildings, with a focus on affordability, scale and delivery. It also considered how the public can be better informed about complex energy trade-offs amid cost of living pressures and confusing rhetoric.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - Growth on a Finite Planet - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Castle Debates session examined whether continued economic growth is compatible with a finite planet, finite natural resources and the limits set by planetary boundaries. The discussion brought together perspectives from policy, economics, international development and business to explore what “prosperity” could look like under ecological constraints. It also considered the implications for decision-making by governments, businesses and individuals, given the scale and urgency of the challenge.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - Outcomes of the UN Biodiversity Summit - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Castle Debates session focused on the UN Biodiversity Summit, COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, held in Montreal from 7–19 December under China’s presidency. The discussion considered why biodiversity is vital to daily life and ecosystem health, and what outcomes were needed to protect the world’s natural resources through international cooperation. It also examined the role of the Convention on Biological Diversity as a global agreement adopted by every UN Member State except the USA, which has signed but not ratified the treaty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - The Future of ESG - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Castle Debates session examined how ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has been shaping corporate and investor behaviour globally, and why it is increasingly influencing decision-making across the public and third sectors as well as business. The discussion considered ESG as a broad set of risks with potentially serious consequences for organisations, ranging from climate governance and supply chain controls to bribery and corruption exposure and board diversity. It also explored the growing debate over ESG’s credibility and direction, including criticism that ratings can be inconsistent or based on unreliable information, and whether reform is needed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - Greenwashing - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This Castle Debates session explored how to spot greenwashing and the practical and legal risks it creates for businesses. The discussion examined why, in the rush to be seen to act on the climate crisis and commit to “net zero”, some organisations have made environmental claims that are not matched by real-world change. It also considered how greenwashing contributes to public mistrust, slows progress, and increases exposure to regulatory scrutiny and litigation.</image:caption>
