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.

Grow your FTTH business with environments where everyone thrives

The FTTH Council Europe is constantly observing the industry in Europe when it comes to inclusion and equity to share best practices, provide recommendations based on the available data from its member companies to encourage progress and address the detected gaps. Following the first survey held back in 2021/2022 and mainly based on gender diversity, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee worked in 2025 on two new surveys with the target to:

  • Establish a baseline on DE&I within the industry and find about (best) practices
  • Compare results to the previous state of art to analyze differences
  • Identify how much active work is being done to address diversity
  • Evaluate more technical data like certifications, company programs, etc. And their impact on building an inclusive workplace

This webinar wants to share with the public the data collected and elaborated by the Council, showcasing the FTTH Council Europe's 2025 Champion of Diversity award-winning company best practices and going through the results of the recently issued surveys to provide a “state of art” picture of the three factors in our industry, thus contributing to pave the way forward towards a more equitable society to ensure a more sustainable and inclusive future in this respect.
