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.

Forty years after the founding of Cullen International, the organisation hosted its anniversary conference on 23 June, bringing together regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, and international stakeholders to discuss the evolution of telecoms regulation and the future of Europe’s digital landscape.

The conference explored key challenges surrounding connectivity policy, investment, digital regulation, and Europe’s broader competitiveness in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.

Francesco Nonno, Vice-President of FTTH Council Europe, spoke during the session “Delivering Europe’s connectivity ambitions”. His intervention focused on the role of public policy and regulatory frameworks in supporting investment in fibre infrastructure as a foundation for Europe’s digital future.

The programme also included discussions on the EU’s regulatory approach, digital governance, and the future direction of telecoms policy in Europe.

Many thanks to Cullen International for organising this valuable occasion for dialogue and exchange.
