**Read the 2025 Annual Report **
As we look back on the past year, we are proud to share our 2025 Annual Report. It reflects on GSF’s work across the ecosystem, highlights key milestones and achievements, and previews our priorities for 2026. It also helps our members, partners, and broader community stay informed about how we are advancing sustainability.
In 2025, we made progress on what matters most: building practical, consensus-based standards and tools that organizations can use to measure and reduce software’s environmental impact.
