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.

Webinar - "Women in Fibre - Gender Diversity Survey: the results are in"

The FTTH Council Europe just revealed the first key findings of its Gender Diversity Survey which have been officially launched during this webinar on 15 December 2021.

Roshene McCool, Senior Market & Technology Development Manager at Corning, presented the findings from the Gender Diversity Survey undertaken by the Women in Fibre Committee on behalf of the FTTH Council Europe in September of this year.

Find out what our 280 respondents had to say about whether gender is a barrier to progression in the European fibre industry; if Diversity & Inclusion initiatives are having an impact in their organizations; the impact of COVID-19 on work life; and if flexible working practices have helped them balance work and life effectively. Roshene presented the results along with recommendations for what leaders can do as they start to address the gender balance in their organisations.

Help us create a brighter future!
