Connected for Impact: Harnessing the Power of Collaboration to Drive Change

As part of the NYC Climate Week 2026, Kyndryl will host a thought-provoking event on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, that brings together customers, partners, nonprofits, community organizations, and industry leaders to explore how collaboration can help address some of today's most pressing sustainability and social challenges. With a revenue of over $15B (FY26), Kyndryl is a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services and supports thousands of customers in more than 60 countries. Recognized by TIME, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and The Economist, for its sustainability and citizenship efforts Kyndryl is deeply committed to climate action through technology and community engagement. Building on the success of Kyndryl's inaugural NYC Climate Week event in 2025, this year's event aims to create an even more dynamic platform for dialogue, relationship-building, and collaboration. Our theme, “Connected for Impact: Harnessing the Power of Collaboration to Drive Change”, reflects a core belief that meaningful progress happens when organizations work across sectors to combine expertise, innovation, and resources. As organizations navigate increasingly complex challenges—from climate resilience and sustainable infrastructure to workforce transformation and digital inclusion—partnerships have become essential to delivering measurable outcomes. The event will feature two interconnected panel discussions: Connected for Climate Action: A discussion on how partnerships, technology, and sustainable infrastructure can help organizations deliver tangible environmental results and accelerate climate progress. Connected for Human Opportunity: A dialogue focused on digital inclusion, workforce readiness, community skilling and resilience, and how collaborative approaches can expand economic opportunity. CSO, and Sustainability leadership: a dialogue of what type of leadership is needed and how to manage in today’s complex environment of increasing resource challenges, climate change and changing talent demands What Makes This Event Different Kyndryl is intentionally creating a forum that sits at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and social impact. The goal is to foster candid discussion among leaders who are actively shaping solutions and to identify opportunities for future collaboration beyond the event itself. We will offer information and resources such as the Global Sustainability Barometer and Social Impact Multiplier research as key take aways. Ultimately, the event is intended to move beyond conversation and inspire stronger partnerships that help organizations create lasting value for businesses, communities, and the planet.
