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.

While the FTTH/B roll-out coverage in Europe amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with some countries significantly lagging behind this average figure. This workshop will bring together industry experts to discuss how to increase the demand for FTTH/B – a key challenge that the industry needs to address urgently to ensure that society fully benefits from the connectivity potential that full-fibre has to offer. During the session, speakers will examine which policy measures and steps by the industry and policy makers could work best to increase the demand and the take-up.
