Abstract
This IDC Perspective explores sustainable software engineering (SSE) and how organizations can elevate and implement SSE practices. SSE is emerging as a crucial discipline, emphasizing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in software design, development, and deployment. With the digital imperative growing and compliance mandates such as the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in place, organizations are prioritizing sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact and align with global standards, such as those set by the Green Software Foundation. This approach not only addresses regulatory requirements but also supports the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions in the tech industry.
"Sustainable software engineering is not an option but a necessity for future-proofing businesses against environmental and regulatory challenges," said Jennifer Thomson, AVP, European Research.
