Green Software Foundation

The sustainability challenges you're solving alone? Your peers are solving them together.

The Green Software Foundation is where member organisations — from tech giants to financial institutions — collaborate on the standards, strategies, and solutions that none of them could build alone.

“Our commitment to becoming sustainable by design across our entire portfolio creates a dynamic ecosystem where challenges can be brought back to GSF to shape standards, while simultaneously allowing us to adopt and apply those standards to address real-world challenges for our customers.”
Gadhu Sundaram Chair, Green Software Foundation; VP of Application Services, NTT DATA

You're not the first to face these challenges

Every organisation's sustainability challenges feel unique. They rarely are. Our members identify the problems affecting the entire industry — then solve them together. The standards, frameworks, and strategies below exist because a member brought us a problem.
