THE GSF AIMS TO RELEASE ITS STATE OF GREEN SOFTWARE REPORT TO SURFACE SUSTAINABILITY INSIGHTS TO THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY.
In response to groundswell interest in Green Software, in 2023, the Green Software Foundation is about to release the first in an annual series of State of Green Software reports.
The report will summarize information gathered from targeted research, expert interviews, and the most significant green software survey ever conducted. Professionals, including software practitioners, industry executives, and academics, answered detailed questions about sustainability and green software. As a result, for the first time, the software industry has a trusted resource with the latest peer-reviewed research, global trends, key actors, open-source tooling, and user research regarding green software.
An ecosystem around green software is larger than any one organization, and within it lies shared goals that multiple organizations hold and initiatives that complement each other.
The State of Green Software report will highlight gaps in the green software ecosystem and drive investment toward filling those gaps. It will help people understand what kind of motivations will result in the best outcomes. It will better prepare organizations for upcoming regulations and policies. It will reduce duplication of effort by shining a light on the activity’s key actors are already engaged in
“The State of Green Software Report is something I wished I had four years ago when I first started to explore this space. If you want to convince your leadership to invest in your green software project, send them your proposal and attach this report as the proof point.” – Asim Hussain, Executive Director @ Green Software Foundation.
