The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

Sustainability: A Global View from the Fibre-to-the-Home Councils Global Alliance (FCGA)

During this live webinar session, targeting the European, African, and APAC regions and followed by a new session for the Americas' audience, the FTTH Council Global Alliance (FCGA) presented the results from its global Sustainability Survey. The survey explored Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies throughout the telecom industry with network operators, service providers, and vendors across five geographical regions, and reveal that some regions are far more advanced than others, but fibre’s sustainable properties will help the global telecom industry achieve ESG and CSR goals. The Sustainability Survey report notes that, according to a Boston Consulting Group report, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector is responsible for 3% to 4% of all global emissions—twice the levels of the aviation industry. However, research by RVA, LLC and the Fiber Broadband Association reveals that Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) directly reduces carbon output leading to a 34% reduction in internet CO2 emissions. This means that fibre-based broadband technologies can help the industry reduce these emissions because fibre consumes less energy than other broadband technologies. More information is available via the full press release.
