The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

Sustainable Finance in the FTTH Industry

How is sustainable finance shaping investment decisions across Europe's fibre industry?

Developed through our Investors & ESG Committee, the publication explores how sustainability-linked financing and measurable ESG performance can support investment strategies and long-term growth in the fibre sector.

Key findings from our member survey:

  • Over 60% of respondents are already implementing green financing instruments, with sustainability-linked loans being the most widely used.
  • Over 80% report that investors request ESG-related information beyond green or sustainability-linked loans.
  • GHG emissions are the most commonly measured ESG KPI, alongside energy efficiency, supplier engagement and workforce diversity.

Based on Fibre Council Europe’s member company responses, the paper also brings together practical case studies from Eurofiber, Deutsche GigaNetz and Genexis, alongside a banking perspective from ING.

Together, these insights highlight both the opportunities and practical challenges of integrating sustainability into financing decisions, from defining meaningful KPIs to strengthening transparency and reporting.
