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.

The first aim of the roundtable will be to position Germany in the chessboard of fibre optic coverage, adoption, and take-up, in comparison to other countries at European and international level. The second section will look at the political and regulatory framework and resulting strategies, followed by some reflections on applications, with the help of some expert speakers from the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and Deutsche Telekom AG.

Our Director General Vincent Garnier will set the scene of the debate by providing the audience with a presentation over the state-of-fibre in Europe, leveraging our most recent market reports presented at the FTTH Conference 2022.
