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.

Webinar - "Single- vs dual-box setup: how to make the right choice"

As the growth of FTTH networks accelerates, attention must be paid to key considerations that affect the long-term business success of fibre roll-out. In this context, proper selection between single-box and dual-box setup at customer premises is one of the most important ones, as it impacts not only the costs of FTTH deployment and the return on investment, but also the ability to maintain customer satisfaction and prevent customer churn throughout the expected life span.

Attendees of the webinar will learn that the proper selection is based on 1) technology aspects, including the ability for future upgrades; 2) business considerations, addressing the TCO, upfront and maintenance costs; 3) regulatory aspects and 4) the expected life span of the setup. The webinar will delve into each of these four categories and discuss the factors that need to be accounted for when choosing the right setup.
