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.

Interview with new FTTH Council Europe President Francesco Nonno for Corriere Comunicazioni

This article, published by CorCom on 11 July 2025, is an in-depth interview with Francesco Nonno, the newly appointed President of the FTTH Council Europe and Director of Regulatory Affairs at Open Fiber. Nonno criticizes the premature deregulation proposed in the Digital Networks Act, warning it could undermine investor confidence and hinder full-fiber rollout across Europe. He advocates for regulatory continuity until the copper network phase-out is complete. The interview also highlights the Council's 2025 priorities, including pushing for a coordinated copper switch-off policy, promoting fiber as a sustainability enabler, and ensuring fair access and digital cohesion across all EU territories.
