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.

Policy & Regulation Committee: Advocacy on the Digital Networks Act and Cybersecurity Act

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Policy & Regulation Committee |

The Policy & Regulation Committee has worked extensively on the European Union's legislative proposals. For the fibre industry, the principal legislative files at present are the Digital Networks Act and the revision of the Cybersecurity Act.

On the Digital Networks Act, the Committee has developed and finalised its amendments to the draft act, which will now serve as the basis for advocacy work with the co-legislators, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. Drawing on the valuable input of a technical ad hoc committee, the Committee is also preparing a detailed policy response on the Cybersecurity Act.

Both activities will continue throughout the third quarter, as the two drafts are now in the parliamentary process. In its last session, the Committee appointed a Vice-Chair. Our sincere thanks go to Roel van Kessel for taking on these responsibilities.
