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.

Deutsche Telekom’s journey to accelerate FTTH deployment

Discover how Deutsche Telekom successfully prepared for a massive FTTH rollout in Germany by partnering with IQGeo and utilizing Comsof Fiber software. This collaboration enabled them to automate and optimize network designs, aiming to connect 3 million homes annually.

The deployment of this process was a major step-change from the more traditional manual design process that required changes in technology, processes, and culture.

Watch the webinar to gain valuable insights and lessons from Raf Meersman and Jonas Verstuyft from IQGeo, along with Berthold von Schimmelmann and Henning Wulf from Deutsche Telekom, who shared their journey, strategies, and key takeaways.
