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.

FTTH Investments in Europe - Market Sentiment Survey - March 2025 update

Initiative of the Investors Committee, the "FTTH Investments in Europe - Market Sentiment Survey" analyses the market sentiment of prominent stakeholders from the investor, vendor, and operator communities in the short and mdi-term period. The March 2025 edition of the study reveals expectations of slower investment growth over the next three years, compared to the previous waves. This survey serves as a strategic guide for industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to navigate the evolving terrain of fibre financing, fostering dialogue between involved parties.
