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 8 - How can technology help address the next FTTH roll out challenges?

How can our industry hit the EU Commission's targets and bring gigabit connectivity to every household in Europe by 2030? How can we ensure that fibre networks reach the most rural and underserved areas of our continent? How can we address the challenges and opportunities of a digital society where fibre will need to connect not only homes but businesses, antennae... Everything, everywhere? 

This session will address these questions and more and bring insights from passive and active technology experts.


Speakers: Björn Capens - Vice President Europe, Fixed Networks at NOKIA, Jose Luis Gonzalez - Regional Product Manager & FTTH Network Architect at CommScope, Rahul Puri - Business Head of Europe at STL, and Tom Ronan - Global Director, Regional Product Management at Viavi Solutions - moderated by Jan Schindler - Board Member at FTTH Council Europe
