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 13 - It is all about Speed!

The importance of speed is common to the four presentations delivered in this session. Speed is one of the multiple benefits brought by fibre, and which still needs to be correctly marketed to convince subscribers to transition to FTTH.  Speed at the core of Fibre and 5G convergence, speed at the planning stages and, thanks to new technologies and services, speed of deployment for passive infrastructure. Fibre offers unlimited capacities, and deployment of fibre requires maximum optimisation of our limited resources, including time. 


Speakers:  Steven Kenney - Product Line Manager at UCL Swift,  Henning Kroll - Product Manager at AVM GmbH, Jason Silver - Managing Director International, SSP Innovations at 3-GIS, Marcus Brunner - Chief Expert Standardization F5G and ETSI ISG F5G Liaison Officer at Huawei - moderated by David De Craemer - Board Member at FTTH Council Europe
