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.

The FTTH Council Global Alliance reveals broadband infrastructure is critical to the future of work-from-home

WASHINGTON, D.C., Brussels—(July 12, 2021)—The Fibre Council Global Alliance (FCGA) today published a white paper titled “The Future of Work: Analyzing Global Broadband Trends.” The report explores survey research conducted by the six regional chapters of the FCGA, which includes the Fiber Broadband Association North America and LATAM chapters, FTTH Council Europe, FTTH Council Asia Pacific, North Africa and Middle East Fiber Connect Council and the Digital Council Africa, to better understand the quality of experience businesses and employees faced while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and how those experiences differed across global regions. The research considered what broadband technology was used most by home workers and what technology investments businesses made to support remote employees.
