About the Committee

The Investments & ESG Committee brings together the work of the Council's former Investors, Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committees under a single structure, reflecting how closely capital, environmental performance and social responsibility are now linked in digital infrastructure.

The Committee provides a forum for investors, operators and industry experts to examine the financial and non-financial factors shaping fibre and data centre investment across Europe. Its scope spans the investment landscape and financing conditions for network rollout, the environmental footprint and sustainability credentials of fibre infrastructure, and the governance and diversity practices that support a resilient, competitive industry.

By combining these perspectives, the Committee aims to give members a clearer view of how ESG considerations influence investment decisions,  and how the sector can demonstrate its value to the investors, policymakers and stakeholders who rely on that evidence.

This page is new and growing. The Committee's reports, studies, and other resources will be added here as they're published - in the meantime, you can explore the latest assets below.

Event: Telco Per l’Italia 360SummIT
Speakers: Vincent Garnier - Director General

Turning critical issues into opportunities: the telecom industry is going through a complex phase but there is no other way out than through innovation. Not only innovation in business models or consumer offers, though, but in technology and skills.  Telco Per l’Italia, the end-of-year event by Corriere Comunicazioni, was the opportunity to address these challenges and make space for innovation. An expert speaker line-up featuring operators, investors, local authorities, and Government’s representatives took stock of the state of the Italian telecom market to understand how business models are evolving, on which technologies and services investments are being focused, and the expectations for 2024. In the context of the event, our Director General Vincent Garnier set the scene for the discussions happening throughout the day with a state-of-the-market presentation highlighting where we are on the road to full-fibre connectivity in Europe, with particular emphasis on the Italian case.
