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.

Open Access Committee – Advancing Shared Fibre Opportunities

Building on the priorities set during the Spring General Assembly, the Open Access Committee continues its work to strengthen understanding and adoption of Open Access models across Europe.

Efforts are now focused on broadening industry dialogue around the definition and value of true Open Access and examining practical enablers such as standards, aggregation, and interoperability. The Committee also aims to gather insights on barriers to adoption and explore ways to address them through collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The Committee is starting preparations for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London, where they will be hosting a workshop.

Members are encouraged to contribute their perspectives and experiences to help shape a common vision for sustainable, inclusive fibre markets.

Help us create a brighter future!
