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 - "How to Boost the FTTH Take-up in Europe?"

Rewatch the live publishing of the first-of-its-kind study on the FTTH adoption drivers and hurdles in Europe, commissioned by the FTTH Council Europe. 

The study, carried out by Plum Consulting and featuring an in-depth analysis of 8 main European markets, addresses a key challenge for all decision-makers and the industry: the discrepancy between fibre rollouts and take-up rates. While the FTTH/B rollout coverage in Europe now amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with considerable differences at country-level.

Benoît Felten, Director of Plum Consulting, presented the results of this new study, which identifies the drivers of FTTH/B adoption and analyses the policies designed to drive fibre adoption in Europe. Watch this webinar to hear the FTTH Council Europe's policy recommendations stemming from this study.
