In December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal with the ambition of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, boosting the economy, improving people's health and quality of life, caring for nature, and leaving no one behind.

Digitalisation will be at the core of this ambitious program and fibre is key to align the digital and sustainability agendas. As the most sustainable telecommunication infrastructure technology, full-fibre is a prerequisite to achieving the European Green Deal and making the European Union’s economy more sustainable.

The need to work collectively towards a more sustainable society has become a strategic objective of policy makers and the vast majority of private organisations alike. With this context in mind, the sustainability Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe has been created with two key objectives:

Promote full fibre as the most sustainable access network technology and enabler of multiple applications which can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our activities. Remote working and learning being the most obvious examples.
Support all stakeholders of the Fibre to the Home value chain in their efforts to make their respective activities more carbon neutral.

In-Home Broadband Excellence Committee: Building on the Conference Momentum

Back to library

The In-Home Broadband Excellence Committee is carrying forward the momentum built at the FTTH Conference in London, where its workshop set out the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of in-home connectivity. The central message was that the future of broadband excellence is won inside the home: fibre rollout is advancing rapidly and Wi-Fi technology is mature, yet the data continues to show significant experience gaps at the end-user level.

The Committee's work reflects that reality, delivering on the promise of gigabit connectivity takes more than network deployment alone, and requires the industry to align spectrum policy, engineering practices, data-driven insights and sustainable commercial models so that performance reaches the device itself. Consumers do not experience access speeds; they experience performance, making consistently strong in-home experiences a shared responsibility across the ecosystem, from operators and vendors to policymakers and service providers.

Building on this, the Committee continues to drive industry alignment through its guides, workshops and webinars, turning network capability into real-world quality of experience for the end user.
