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.

Better Monetisation of the FTTH Platform

FTTH represents a significant investment and is often deployed in a landgrab type of approach that focuses on civil works to the detriment of commercial activities. Unfortunately, the nature of the business model means that delaying revenue generation has detrimental effects down the line. In this session, Plum Consulting and IDATE will focus on these commercial aspects and highlight in practical terms how take-up can be accelerated, how ARPU can be increased and more generally how the commercial mindset can benefit the overall business success of FTTH.


Speakers: Benoît Felten - Partner at Plum Consulting, Jean-Luc Lemmens - CEO at IDATE, Roland Montagne - Principal Analyst Broadband & FTTx, Director Business Unit at IDATE
