Grace Langham

Implementing comprehensive ESG initiatives not only insulates against risk, but allows aspirational technology companies to open up new sustainability opportunities.

Grace is an analyst working in Analysys Mason’s Research and insights team. She is a leading contributor to our Sustainable Networks research practice, and also supports the Fibre Infrastructure and Wireless Infrastructure programmes. Grace’s work focuses on topics related to sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) within the networked economy; providing a detailed understanding of technologies and systems in relation to their impact on energy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, embodied carbon, material use and circularity.

Grace’s expertise has its foundations in her skills at data analysis. She conducts extensive desk research, using both primary and secondary data, and combining both qualitative and quantitative information to derive valuable insight for companies. 

Grace works with the technology industry, regulators and the finance community to help identify the next sustainability trends. Much of her work is focused on strategy, and her role varies substantially according to where the client is on its sustainability journey. Finding the most valuable insights, trends and data for each client is critical, and must reflect the client’s industry, and its capability to absorb our recommendations into its strategies and general governance structures.

Interesting milestone projects have included detailed calculation of the (economic and carbon) value of the copper in a nationwide fixed-line network, and the environmental impact of digital technologies and systems on different industrial sectors.

Grace holds an MChem degree in chemistry from the University of York and has previous experience within pharmaceutical drug discovery. Outside the working environment, she is an enthusiastic sportswoman, whether on horseback, the netball court, or pounding the streets of London at the 2023 Marathon.
