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.

KCOM and Sonalake complete OTS testing

KCOM and Sonalake are delighted to announce the completion of end-to-end integration testing of their OTS solutions covering the full OTS lifecycle (gaining and losing roles) and are set for the Industry trials. “From the outset, KCOM saw the value of OTS in promoting customer choice and took the strategic decision to be one of the early innovators in embracing the solution. We found the partnership with Sonalake to be a very good fit to KCOM’s agile and innovative culture.” -Neil Bartholomew, Managing Director Consumer KCOM

“Sonalake’s pivOTS™ is an enterprise grade solution enabling ISPs to achieve cost efficient and secure OTS compliance. While pivOTS™ is being deployed by several ISPs, we were delighted to test independently towards KCOM’s OTS implementation. Our Technical teams really enjoyed the collaborative engagement working with KCOM”-Niall Halpenny, Director Telecoms, Sonalake
