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.

Our Director Communications & Public Affairs Aurélie Bladocha Coelho took part in SME Europe's virtual discussion “Anticipating the Future: How Can Wi-Fi Contribute to the EU Digital Decade?".

With the onset of the pandemic, last year highlighted the crucial role of a thriving online ecosystem and the need for a resilient, high-speed telecommunications infrastructure across Europe. The next generation of WiFi will transform society and business operations thanks to higher speed, lower latency and potential for instant device-to-device connections, but how can we work together to establish the required spectrum for the 2030 Gigabitsociety, and help European SMEs stay connected?

Help us create a brighter future!
