Green Software

The hidden challenge of making software eco-friendly

Green software refers to software development practices focused on minimizing environmental impact through optimized energy efficiency and reduced resource consumption.

Findings from the Green Software Foundation's State of Green Software show that software on its own will account for a staggering 14% of the world's carbon footprint by 2040, highlighting the urgency for energy-efficient solutions. Avanade's research indicates that 30% of organizations are implementing green software principles, yet more action is necessary to mitigate risks like reputational damage from excessive energy use.

By adopting green software, businesses can align with sustainability goals while leveraging technology that minimizes carbon emissions.
