Lower environmental impact

Every line of code has a footprint. The energy we consume, the servers we power, and the materials we depend on shape the planet’s health. Sustainable software minimizes harm and aligns our digital systems with ecological limits.

Lower environmental impact comes to life when we:

• •Measure the impact of our choices. Understand and track the carbon, energy, and material costs of the systems we build to make sustainability visible and actionable.
• •Design for efficiency, not excess. Reduce computational load, data transfer, and storage waste wherever possible without compromising usability or quality.
• •Choose infrastructure responsibly. Prefer hosting and services that use renewable energy and commit to transparent sustainability reporting.
• •Encourage low-impact behaviors. Make it easy for users to make environmentally conscious choices through defaults, design, and education.
• •Plan for the full lifecycle. Consider maintenance, updates, and eventual decommissioning from the start to minimize long-term waste.
