Studennikoff founded the [CC Forum](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/002222t/cc-forum) and its first event took place in London in 2018. The forum gathers ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, investors, innovators, scientists and policymakers to discuss climate change, geopolitical conflicts, poverty, inequality and mental health, and to encourage investment in sustainable solutions. Studennikoff said: "I am very excited about the possibilities that PRIMA's extraordinary pledge brings to the table. It will help us accelerate and amplify our work to address the most pressing issues mankind is confronting today." CC Forum also entered a strategic partnership with the AI & Sustainability Alliance, endorsed through the Magnifica Humanitas initiative announced by Pope Leo earlier this year. The partnership rests on the position that AI should be harnessed and directed for a greater good. The CC Forum Foundation, a UK-based charity, was launched alongside the pledge, with businesses invited to commit 1% of their profits to charitable causes. Speakers and guests of honour included Professor Jeffrey Sachs of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Lord Zac Goldsmith, Dr. Peter Klasvogt, Rector of Collegio Teutonico of the Vatican, Dr. Stephen Melnik, J. Bradley Hilton, Lord Nat Wei, Lord Tony Sewell CBE, Runa Alam, Per Wimmer, Simon Littlewoods, Alicia Holley-Castillo, Phil Lane Jr, Chris Smith and Lyda Tymiak Lindell.
