2nd Global Asset Owner Meeting on Biodiversity
September 23rd-25th, 2025
Villa Bonn, Siesmayerstraße 12, 60323 Frankfurt, Germany
Welcome to a unique Experience for Asset Owners!
The Global Asset Owner Meeting (GAOM) is a unique working meeting for leading institutional and private investors with a focus on biodiversity and sustainable investments in various asset classes.
A Meeting with a Result
To ensure the highest level of knowledge exchange and quality of discussions, all participants of the Global Asset Owner Meeting receive targeted preparatory materials two weeks before the conference begins. This carefully curated documentation and specific questions allow participants to prepare content-wise and reach a common level of knowledge. The aim is to initiate an intellectual exchange in advance and create the foundation for in-depth, constructive conversations.
Traditionally, the meeting opens with an exclusive dinner, featuring an inspiring dinner speech to set the tone for the participants. The following two days are characterized by intensive work sessions, expert dialogues, and interactive workshops.
This format makes the Global Asset Owner Meeting much more than an ordinary conference!
The 2nd Global Asset Owner Meeting on Biodiversity
The second Global Asset Owner Meeting on Biodiversity will take place on September 23rd to 25th, 2025, at Villa Bonn in Frankfurt. Following the great success of the first meeting in June 2024, the event returns to assess progress in biodiversity investments and develop new strategies.
Participants can once again look forward to 2.5 days of inspiring presentations, lively discussions, and interactive workshops. A special focus will be on presenting concrete investment projects and their measurable impacts on biodiversity.
The event builds on the "Asset Owner Biodiversity Action Plan" developed at the first GAOM, aiming to evaluate and further develop its implementation. It is again organized by a high-profile consortium led by FERI.
With this second meeting, GAOM establishes itself as an important platform for exchange and collaboration between institutional investors committed to protecting and restoring biodiversity.
Results of the 1st Global Asset Owner Meeting
The results of the GAOM mark significant progress in sustainable investments. The development of a comprehensive action plan, which establishes concrete measures to protect biodiversity and integrate it into investment strategies, was at the center of the meeting.
The action plan includes two key Calls to Action:
- The Call to Action for regulators demands the development of binding frameworks for biodiversity protection and the implementation of regulations for measuring and standardizing biodiversity investments.
- The Call to Action for Asset Owners focuses on integrating biodiversity strategies into asset allocation and developing concrete investment solutions across various asset classes.
Subsequent developments:
- Two pension funds developed their own sustainability strategies.
- Ongoing discussions were initiated with the European Commission and the European Investment Fund to implement the action plan, with a focus on developing a "Regulatory Sandbox".
- The "Families for Biodiversity" network was established to involve private investors. An initial webinar to kick off the network took place on January 21, 2025, aiming to establish a "European Impact Family Office Network".
These outcomes highlight the growing commitment of asset owners to biodiversity and sustainable investments, setting new standards for integrating biodiversity aspects into investment strategies.
