Green Software Foundation’s Post

“Now is a great time to be a software builder.” 👩💻 That was one of the standout sound bites of the evening. From Mark Caulfield, Co-founder and CEO of the finalist and highly commended Rethink Carbon at the #GeovationInnovationAwards last week. There’s never been better access to data, technology and tools. What a breath of positive fresh air. All the major manifestos promise support for tech and innovation in the run-up to the UK general election. For me, two pledges in particular are interesting. The notion of a National Data Library to open up access to data – fundamental for innovation. And of the Regulatory Innovation Office tasked with dealing with red tape to speed up regulatory approvals and encourage cross-sector innovation. Open data and collaboration surely must form the basis for an agenda for growth. By which I mean progress. Fixing stuff and creating a better world, rather than profit for profit’s sake. Bring on the optimism. 

Citizen development is reshaping the landscape of modern businesses, unlocking a wave of innovation and increased productivity. Hear from our very own subject matter expert Tom Payne on the future of low-code and no-code in an organization: https://lnkd.in/gpn7T9KR

Let’s talk about Software Carbon Intensity, or SCI. Ever wonder how we can make our digital world a bit greener? 🌍 It’s all about reducing the SCI – which means making our software run smarter and cleaner.

We've just launched Sequestor - the data engine for carbon markets. Sequestor aggregates data on carbon projects across major registries and provides a one-stop-shop for tools to extract, query and compare carbon project data in seconds. 150+ conversations with carbon market participants helped us dive deep into the key pain points faced when navigating fragmented data in an opaque carbon credit market. If you are a carbon market participant, we would love to show you how Sequestor can help you filter through carbon projects, conduct carbon project due-diligence and extract market insights 10x faster. Learn more and book a demo via our website: www.sequestor.org Building alongside a fantastic team of Douglas Yang, Ethan Christian Tan and Brandon Man. #carbon #carboncredits #carbonmarket #offsets #carbonanalytics #carbondata #nbs #naturebasedsolutions #startup #data #launchday

In anticipation of the book, here are some insights/views on green software: Part 1 With the tech sector predicted to account for 14% of global emissions by 2040, the environmental cost of innovation can no longer be ignored. From AI to data centres, it's time to rethink how we create and consume technology. Every interaction with digital products and services has an environmental cost. It's time to empower users with knowledge about their digital footprint, encouraging sustainable behaviours. Let's reduce complexity in tech. By creating lighter, simpler digital experiences, we can meet business needs and reduce our environmental footprint. Sustainability Starts Early. With over 80% of all product-related environmental impacts determined during the design phase, it’s crucial to consider the environmental footprint of digital products from the get-go. Let’s prioritise sustainability before coding begins. Peter Campbell, Marc Nevin, Caoimhin Graham, Joe McGrath

I would like to share some of the key takeaways from our fourth Capstone Project session under the guidance of JP Jagdev Sir at Parameter Softwares Pvt Ltd. The discussion was all around the 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 where we emphasized Sustainability as one of the principles of core business value. Then, we learned about four major significant approach: 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴. We integrated this approach into the Value Logic Framework in its three major phases, which are 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, where the businesses complying with sustainability focus more on the Value Proposition framework for better clarity. Overall, we also learned about two major frameworks, which are ESG and Natural Resources, Waste, and Energy, that talk about the direct relationships between consumption and sustainable decisions. #CapstoneProject #ESG #CircularEconomy #BusinessModels #ValueLogicFramework
