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.

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the decision to revise the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BCRD) and believes that with appropriate revisions it can assist the deployment of FTTH across Europe. The FTTH Council is uniquely placed to participate in this survey for a number of reasons, its members are actively involved in actual network deployments and the network design. Those network designs are driven by customers and their desire for cost reduction which may or may not result in a significant overlay of existing networks. The FTTH Council has, since its inception, advocated the reuse of passive infrastructures and the sharing of the terminating segment as a means of enabling efficient FTTH deployments. With the recent pandemic and its effects, the importance of widely available and affordable fibre networks has never been more important and the BCRD can play an important role in delivering that outcome.
