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.

Webinar - Upgrade without overbuild via asset reuse: expand your network, not your footprint

In the past, the two most important success factors for a full-fibre build were cost and time to market. But today, there’s a third criterion: sustainability. Often, the cheapest, fastest, and most environmentally friendly way to deploy new fibre is to use an existing right of way. In this session, our sponsors Dura-Line, Prysmian Group and Plumettazz share their expertise on innovative ways to expand your network without increasing your footprint. Whether you’re an incumbent operator adding extra capacity, an agile competitor entering a new market, or a public sector organisation with assets that could be repurposed, make sure not to miss session to gran relevant insight for your sustainability targets.

Help us create a brighter future!
