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.

Event: Keynote speech "European Fibre Vision - Fact or Fiction", at Adtran's NSP event
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date and time: 23 February 2023, 09:10 GMT
Location: King's Place - London, UK
Organiser: Adtran

With over 12 million homes now having access to full fibre, the UK is among the fastest-growing fibre markets in Europe. Despite the clear improvements seen in the past few months, the country is still lagging behind other European countries with regard to FTTH coverage, and there is still a long way before all British citizens can enjoy the full potential of fibre connectivity.

It is therefore important to separate the facts from the fiction and build concrete strategies to fill this gap, with market data being the starting point of this exercise. At Adtran's NSP event UK, our Director General Vincent Garnier discussed the most recent UK fibre market figures and how these compare to the experiences from other European countries.
