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.

FTTH Council Europe unveils new market reports and updated industry assets at the FTTH Conference 2023

Madrid, 19 April 2023 – As part of the programme of the FTTH Conference 2023 in Madrid, the FTTH Council Europe revealed today several market reports outlining the latest figures on fibre deployment trends in Europe: the FTTH/B Market Panorama 2023, the FTTH/B Global Ranking 2023, the FTTH/B Forecasts for 2023-2028, and the updated report on FTTH/B in Rural Areas, prepared by IDATE. All reports are based on the latest available data from September 2022. The reports confirm the positive trend of fibre rollouts across Europe, with full-fibre connectivity being a clear priority for EU authorities, national governments, and market players across Europe. 

In addition to the above-mentioned market reports, the FTTH Council Europe officially launched its new FTTH/B Investments Tracker report, an initiative of the Investors Committee powered by Macquarie Group Limited, and revamped editions of the industry-known FTTH Handbook and In-Home Broadband Excellence Guide.
