Information Sharing
A space for representatives of the companies joining the FTTH Eco Platform to share experiences, best practices, challenges, and success stories around the topic of carbon emissions reporting and their path to net-zero. Keep reading to learn more about the various channels we are offering to bring you on the steering wheel of the green transition.
LinkedIn private group
The FTTH Eco Platform by the FTTH Council Europe offers an exclusive LinkedIn private group community where industry professionals can collaborate, exchange insights, and stay ahead of the latest trends in how to make fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) a more sustainable asset, in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This dynamic forum highlights cutting-edge innovations that enhance network efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and user experience while addressing key challenges in carbon emissions reporting. Each company joining the FTTH Eco Platform can invite up to three company representatives to the LinkedIn private group. By joining the community, members will gain access to exclusive market data, regional adoption trends, and real-life use cases showcasing successful implementations and strategic partnerships. Engaging discussions, interactive polls, and expert analyses will keep members informed on regulatory updates, government initiatives, and evolving industry policies in the context of sustainability. Members of the LinkedIn private group will have the ability to post, comment, interact, network with other members and participate into conversations driving the future of fibre connectivity!
Quarterly Webinars
As part of the FTTH Eco Platform, participants gain exclusive access to a series of quarterly webinars designed to explore the crucial intersection of fibre deployment and sustainability. These expert-led sessions dive deep into key topics such as regulatory compliance, emerging technology trends, and industry best practices, equipping attendees with the knowledge to stay ahead in an evolving landscape. Whether tackling the latest sustainability mandates, optimizing energy efficiency in network rollouts, or discovering innovative eco-friendly solutions, these webinars provide invaluable insights from thought leaders and industry pioneers. Engage in live discussions, ask pressing questions, and connect with peers who share a commitment to a greener, more sustainable FTTH future. Don’t miss this opportunity to turn sustainability challenges into strategic advantages!
A library of publications and assets
Get access to a series of exclusive studies, reports, white papers, and publications produced by Committees and Working Groups of the FTTH Council Europe, addressing relevant topics for the industry such as: FTTH networks as green assets in the context of EU taxonomy, decommissioning of legacy copper networks, how to accelerate FTTH deployment with IT, broadband technologies ranking, investment trends, and much more.
Access to sector database
As a participant in the FTTH Eco Platform, you gain exclusive access to a comprehensive database of sector carbon intensity data, an essential resource for accurate sustainability reporting and emissions reduction strategies. This database provides carbon intensity metrics in two key formats:
- per household (kg CO₂ equivalent per household)
- per product (derived from Life Cycle Assessment)
How is the database used
The Carbon Intensity data is calculated using a straightforward tool developed by the FTTH Council Europe. This tool is an Excel-based model that operates solely through formulas, without any macros. Users populate the sheet with data from Scope 1, Scope 2, and select subcategories of Scope 3 (to prevent double counting), along with the volume of products sold. The tool then generates the Carbon Intensity data, which is subsequently shared with the individual responsible for the Sustainability Committee.
How is confidentiality respected
The platform safeguards sensitive data, maintaining confidentiality of sales figures and aligning with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD): the calculation process is fully automated, and the only data required for reporting are the figures expressed in kg CO₂ eq/Household, which are the sole values to be disclosed. Sales figures remain strictly confidential and are not shared under any circumstances.
By leveraging this tool, members can benchmark their carbon footprint, contribute to industry-wide ESG best practices, and drive sustainable transformation in fibre network deployment.
Toovalu Impact Software
Additionally, participants benefit from preferential access to the Toovalu Impact Software, a cloud-based GHG assessment tool that streamlines carbon footprint analysis. This platform enables seamless data collection, automatic conversion into carbon weight, and advanced filtering for visibility into Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. With tailor-made indicators and dashboards, organizations can monitor their impact, define transition scenarios, and build action plans for sustainability. The FTTH Council Europe also facilitates an industry-wide observatory, tracking progress in emissions reduction and ESG best practices to inform policymakers and drive meaningful change across the fibre sector.
Access to sector observatory
A key benefit of the FTTH Eco Platform is access to the dedicated Sector Observatory, a powerful tool designed to track and analyze the industry's progress in reducing carbon emissions. By aggregating data from across the FTTH value chain, the observatory provides a comprehensive view of carbon intensity per household and product, enabling companies to benchmark their performance against industry trends. Participants contribute data annually using a streamlined reporting process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in carbon footprint assessments. While individual company data remains strictly confidential, the observatory publishes aggregated insights, highlighting minimum and maximum values, to foster transparency without compromising business-sensitive information. By engaging with the Sector Observatory, members not only enhance their own sustainability strategies but also help shape industry-wide best practices and inform policymakers on the sector’s environmental impact.
When do we collect data
You will be asked to report when your company enters the program, or at the end of the academy, and then once of year, at the end of Q1. You will receive an email, from which you will be able to download the latest version of the Carbon Intensity tool. By filling the tool, you will receive the Carbon Intensity of your activity. Those figures shall be shared with the responsible of the FTTH Eco Platform, within the Sustainability committee.
How do we share the results
Individual participant data is not disclosed. Instead, data from the same products, provided by various participants, is aggregated. This approach enables the FTTH Council to present a range, including minimum and maximum values, within the observatory without associating the information with specific companies.
