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.

What is the status of fibre deployments in Belgium and how does that compare to the rest of Europe? What is the role of the government? How can we ensure the rural areas are not forgotten?

Our President Eric Festraets covered these key topics during his keynote speech at FITCE.be’s event "Fiber for BE- The state and future of fiber in Belgium", happened on 6 October in Edegem, Belgium. On his presentation, President Festraets analysed the state of play and future of fibre deployments in Belgium in relation to the Market Forecasts 2021-2026 and the study on rural FTTH/B, recently revealed at the FTTH Virtual Conference 2021, together with the policies that will be necessary to reach full fibre connectivity in the country.

Help us create a brighter future!
