“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.”
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.
Four functions. Each one driven by member needs. Each one producing results the industry adopts.
Our members develop vendor-neutral specifications — from SCI to SOFT — through an AI-facilitated consensus process that's achieved ISO certification in record time.
Explore our standards →Translating technical reality into regulatory language. Position papers, the State of Green Software report, and a policy radar tracking emerging legislation — giving members the evidence and the voice.
See our policy work →Building capability at every level. From the free Green Software Practitioner course (130,000+ completions) to advanced certification and cohort programmes — turning commitments into competence.
Start learning →Champions, meetups, podcasts, and events — a global network of practitioners driving sustainable software forward. The movement that turns individual effort into industry change.
Join the community →Stories, research, and insights from our members and community.

In autumn 2025, a group of GSF members reached consensus on the design foundation for SCI for Web. Here is what they agreed on, how the AI-assisted process worked, and what's next.

The full consensus design document for SCI for Web, created by 14 GSF members through an AI-assisted assembly process. Covers scope definition, target personas, and implementation practices.

In early 2025, AI experts from GSF member organizations participated in a workshop designed to define our approach to AI measurement and evaluate existing metrics. Today, we share the outcomes of these sessions.

In a series of workshops in 2024, members of the GSF Green AI Committee defined Green AI, assessed its environmental impacts across the AI lifecycle, and outlined key actions for AI sustainability. In this paper, we share those outcomes.

CAST, NTT DATA, and UBS share how they are reducing their software emissions and laying a solid foundation for a greener digital future.

With a green energy mission and supercomputing capacity of 44 petaflops, NREL is predetermined to be at the forefront of the green software movement. Jared Temanson reveals more.

Using the SCI specification, UBS compares two banking applications with regard to their carbon emissions.

An in depth look at how Accenture implemented the SCI Specification Score to track software emissions.

The first enterprise-scale implementation of carbon-aware computing using the software carbon intensity (SCI) specification and carbon-aware-sdk is capable of avoiding multiple metric tons of CO2eq from entering the atmosphere -- every year.
