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.

Interview with Vincent Garnier, Director General, on what's next beyond FTTH build for the European market

Keely Portway speaks to Vincent Garnier, Director General at the FTTH Council Europe, to discuss the state of play for European rollouts, the technical leap toward 50G PON, and why the industry is shifting its focus from coverage to value creation.

As the industry prepares for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London this April, the narrative surrounding fibre deployment is changing. No longer just a race to pass homes, the conversation has matured into a debate over performance, migration, and the role of fibre as a critical national asset.
