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.

Investments & ESG Committee: An Integrated View of Fibre Investment

Jul 24, 2026
Committee News | Investors Committee |

The new Investments & ESG Committee aims to provide an integrated perspective on the key issues shaping fibre investment. Alongside continuing to publish core assets such as the Investment Tracker, the Committee will analyse the market trends that can drive investment forward — in particular, emerging consolidation trends and the regulatory and commercial best practices that accelerate take-up. Given evolving technological demands, it will also examine how FTTH-enabled technologies can attract new sources of finance.

The Committee continues to engage with EU and international institutions on the inclusion of FTTH in the Taxonomy Regulation and on circularity, unlocking the potential of sustainable finance. Diversity and inclusion will remain a core part of its work: the recently published ESG, Green Finance and KPIs Survey 2025/2026 shows that integrating ESG into corporate strategy eases access to finance and supports long-term growth.
