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.

On 18 May, FTTH Council President Francesco Nonno joined the debate shaping the next decade of telecom infrastructure in Europe, alongside policymakers, regulators and industry leaders at one of the key discussions around Digital Network Act.
WIth investment pressure growing and Europe facing increasing competition on digital infrastructure, the discussion focused on how the DNA could shape the next decade of European connectivity and how its ambitions would stand up to real-world challenges.

Two panel debates featuring high-level representatives from EU Member States and EU institutions, civil society and industry examined the DNA’s potential to drive digital transformation, strengthen European competitiveness and deliver benefits for society as a whole.

The event was co-organised by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the General Secretariat of the Council.

A sincere thank you to the organisers for bringing together such an important and timely discussion on the future of Europe’s digital infrastructure.
