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.

Panel discussion at DSA Global Summit 2024

Event: DSA Global Summit
Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General 
Date: 23 September, 2024
Location: Geneva, Switzerland
Organiser: Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA)


The DSA Global Summit served as the premier global event bringing together leading regulators, spectrum authorities, industry experts and academics to discuss the opportunities and challenges with enabling spectrum sharing through the use of dynamic access technologies.

The 2024 Summit composed a regulator-only workshop on September 24 and public keynote addresses and panel sessions on September 23 - 24. The unique structure of the DSA Global Summit allowed Regulators and spectrum authorities to meet with other Regulators and spectrum authorities from across the globe to discuss spectrum management challenges while gave the space for in-depth discussion on both technical and policy issues. The second part of the event was dedicated to band-specific use cases and innovation on spectrum management.

Mr. Garnier participated in the panel Spectrum management with a user-centric approach - End Users. This session focused on the evolving landscape of spectrum management with a user-centric perspective. Some of the addressed key questions were:

  • How are users accessing the Internet? What does Internet traffic indicate? What is the relationship between indoor and outdoor traffic? How does it change for developed markets, islands, and LDD?
  • How can innovative spectrum management frameworks contribute to ensuring that users get meaningful connectivity?
  • What are the user expectations in terms of broadband access?
  • How can dynamic spectrum access enhance end-user experience by providing reliable, high-speed connectivity across various devices and locations?
  • What is the role of different technologies in addressing users' requirements?

Help us create a brighter future!
