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.

This page is new and growing. The Committee's reports, studies, and other resources will be added here as they're published - in the meantime, you can explore the latest assets below.

Our Director General Vincent Garnier took part in the session "La France du THD en Europe", where he placed France on the chessboard of European fibre optic networks, discussing opportunities and challenges for fibre developments in the country while recalling its previous positions on our annual European FTTH ranking. Is there a French model, does it inspire other countries in Europe? What are the main takeaways that Europe can take from the French experience on the sustainability issue and the resilience of networks?

Help us create a brighter future!
