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.

Webinar on Spectrum Policy & the Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi

Event: Unlocking European Growth: Spectrum Policy and Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi
Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Date: 3rd November 2025 
Time: 15.00 - 16.30 CET 
Organiser: Cisco and FTTH Council Europe

Wi-Fi is a cornerstone of enterprise connectivity and was driving Europe’s digital transformation, delivering billions in economic value and supporting the EU's Digital Decade targets. Enabling by robust fibre, public Wi-Fi also provided vital connectivity in essential spaces like hospitals and schools, supporting inclusive growth and strengthening key sectors. Europe’s ability to unlock the full potential of next-generation Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6E/7) hinged on critical spectrum policy choices. The future of the upper 6 GHz band remained under debate, and the decision was decisive for Europe’s digital competitiveness compared to global regions that had allocated the full band for unlicensed use. This interactive roundtable examined how unlicensed technologies, powered by 6 GHz spectrum, were already enabling transformative use cases across public and enterprise sectors. Attendees joined the discussion to discuss the options on the table and ensure Wi-Fi remained a key driver of growth, innovation, and Europe’s policy goals.
