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.

FTTH for this Century: CommScope's White Paper on How to Build Networks that Last and Survive Future Requirements

Networks are built to last for decades, and they need to support, without interruption or failure, increasingly heavy traffic at higher bandwidths. To cope with this, a completely open spectral transmission window from 1260 nm to 1625 nm for data transmission and up to 1650 nm for network monitoring is necessary in all portions of the optical network. Learn more at CommScope’s website here.
