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.

Open Access Committee: From Conference Debate to New Initiatives

Committee News | Open Access Working Group |

The Open Access Committee had a strong presence at the FTTH Conference, hosting a targeted workshop with case studies on how standards and technology are enhancing the Open Access customer experience, and delivering a panel session that brought together investors, Tier-1 multinational operators, aggregators and a national Open Access provider to debate what is required to unleash the power of Open Access.

The Committee is now progressing several key initiatives. It is drafting a paper on Open Access strategies aimed at unlocking ecosystem value while safeguarding investment, reviewing models across Europe and assessing progress to date to help shape future direction. In parallel, work has begun on a Europe-wide database of Open Access providers, mapping their products and services to improve transparency and enable better industry collaboration.
