About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit.
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

The Sustainability Committee continues to drive progress on the FTTH Eco Platform, which collected participant data until the end of 2025. Calculations and analyses are now underway, with results to be shared later in 2026. These insights will allow participants to understand the sector’s carbon footprint and benchmark their own organizations against the industry average, supporting sustainable practices across the FTTH ecosystem.

In parallel, the European Parliament has reached a preliminary agreement to relax certain requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The most notable change is that mandatory sustainability reporting will now apply only to large companies with more than 1,000 employees and net revenues exceeding €450 million. The exact timeline for official adoption of these amendments remains uncertain.

The Committee continues to monitor these developments closely, ensuring that FTTH sector participants remain informed, compliant, and able to leverage the FTTH Eco Platform insights to drive environmental responsibility, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability across their organizations.
