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.

2025 FTTH Market Panorama - Report by Country

The 2025 edition of the FTTH/B Market Panorama presents the latest insights into FTTH/B coverage and adoption in Europe as of September 2024. The country-specific report, compiled by the Market Intelligence Committee and IDATE, provides data-driven insights on key performance indicators such as homes passed, subscribers, take-up rate, coverage rate, and penetration rate, along with trends and growth patterns observed over the past few years.

This report offers a comprehensive overview of Europe’s progress toward full fiber connectivity, with FTTH/B coverage in the EU39 region reaching 74.6% and the take-up rate increasing to 53.1%. Despite steady growth, the FTTH penetration rate for the last 3 years remains at 32.9%, highlighting the ongoing challenge of driving adoption.

While the overall trend is positive, market dynamics vary significantly across countries, with some nations leading in coverage and adoption, while others still face obstacles in deployment and user uptake. This edition introduces a country-focused approach, allowing for a more detailed analysis of national trends, challenges, and opportunities in the FTTH/B landscape.
