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.

DEI Committee Advances ESG Collaboration and Prepares for FTTH Conference 2026

Committee News | Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee |

During the autumn period, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee collaborated closely with the Sustainability and Investors Committees to carry out an in-depth analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) key performance indicators within the FTTH industry. This joint effort aimed to better understand how ESG metrics are currently measured and applied across the sector.

The outcomes of this collaborative work were presented to members during the November General Assembly, providing valuable insights into the current state of ESG performance and highlighting opportunities for further progress, particularly in the social dimension of sustainability.

As the new year begins, the DEI Committee is now focusing its efforts on preparations for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London. The Committee is reaffirming the central role of diversity, equity and inclusion in driving industry success, with a specific emphasis on strengthening the “Social” impact of ESG frameworks. This work will support the industry’s ongoing commitment to responsible growth, inclusive practices and long-term value creation.
