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.

Panel 14 - Open Access / Network sharing

With the emergence of multiple open-access operators and the development of network-sharing agreements between many European internet service providers, the fixed-line telecom landscape has gone through considerable changes. This obviously does not come without challenges, that this session will address.

Join this panel session, where the CEOs from some European open-access operators illustrate the business rationale behind opting for shared networks. Joined on stage by senior representatives of the digital infrastructure industry and the regulatory world, the panel will also touch upon the policy opportunities and roadblocks regulating the network-sharing market.


Speakers: Alain Meller - Deputy CEO, Business Development & Operations at SETICS,  Andreas Waber, CEO at Swiss Fibre Net AG,  José Antonio Vázquez Blanco - CEO at Onivia,  Marta Wojciechowska, CEO at Fiberhost,  and Robert Mourik - Chairperson at Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) - moderated by Eric Joyce - Board Member at FTTH Council Europe
