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 contributed to the development of the Code of Conduct for the Sustainability of Telecommunication Networks, published in January 2026. This marks an important step toward positioning the telecom sector within the EU Taxonomy as a sustainable industry. The Code provides a framework to promote energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and greater transparency across the sector.

The Committee is now seeking further clarity on the applicability of certain standards outlined in the Code and will engage in discussions with relevant stakeholders in the coming months.

At the FTTH Conference, the Committee also presented initial findings from its ESG Survey, highlighting the growing importance of sustainable finance in the sector. Results show that ESG-linked financial products are becoming more widespread, while investors and shareholders are increasingly requesting ESG data from market players.

Building on this, work is underway on a White Paper on Sustainable Finance, combining survey insights with in-depth industry interviews. The publication is expected in June, providing further guidance on financing the transition to more sustainable fibre networks.
