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.

More than half of European households now have access to full fibre connectivity and we witness a surge in Public and Private investment in support of aggressive FTTH roll out plans. However, a lot still has to be done to make sure our continent has the fibre infrastructure it requires to meet the challenges of a green and digital society. Our Director General Vincent Garnier presented a review of FTTH roll out plans throughout Europe during his intervention at the ECOC Exhibition, which was followed by a focus on the key challenges the industry will be facing in the years to come.
