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.

Investment Tracker - November 2025 update

Nov 10, 2025
Reports & Studies | Investors Committee |

Following the peak of FTTX financing activity in 2022, the market continues to show reduced yet resilient momentum through 2025. Financing conditions remain challenging, with overall activity levels declining compared to previous years, although transaction volumes and deal flow are still supported by ongoing fibre deployment across Europe. Lenders are maintaining a disciplined approach, with a continued focus on homes activated as a key metric to assess cash flow generation and project viability. France and the UK remain the most active markets, highlighting their central role in the European fibre investment landscape.

In this more constrained environment, access to financing for fibre projects is becoming increasingly complex, reinforcing the need for greater transparency and market insight. To support investors and industry participants, the FTTH Council Europe’s Investors Committee, in collaboration with Macquarie, continues to provide this comprehensive overview of fibre financing transactions across selected European countries. The report captures key market trends, evolving risk considerations, and detailed transaction data, including financing volumes, participating lenders, advisors, and expansion plans where publicly available. The Investors Committee remains committed to updating this resource on a semi-annual basis to reflect ongoing market developments.
