As the second publication of our ongoing focus on green skills, we are proud to launch the Green software guide, developed through the CGI SEEDS Programme in partnership with the University of Leicester.
This guide empowers technology professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to create more sustainable software solutions, aligning with the industry's growing focus on environmental responsibility.
With the IT sector’s carbon footprint projected to reach 14% of global emissions by 20401, sustainable software development is more critical than ever. The Green software guide explores how energy-efficient coding, resource optimisation, and sustainable procurement can significantly reduce hardware energy consumption and environmental impact. By adopting the seven key principles outlined, technology companies can not only lower emissions but also enhance performance, reduce costs, and align with global sustainability goals.
For professionals, this guide serves as a practical tool for integrating sustainability into digital transformation efforts, equipping them with the green skills needed to drive innovation while meeting environmental targets.
