Joins Foundation Green Software
Siemens joins Green Software Foundation’s steering committee to drive sustainable software development
- Joint commitment to reduce software’s environmental footprint
- Siemens recognizes importance of software in order to advance sustainability and aims to invest in sustainability networks like Green Software Foundation
- Green Software Foundation focuses on developing energy-efficient systems and infrastructure and aims for green software to become new standard for the future
Siemens is proud to join the Green Software Foundation (GSF) as a new member
of its steering committee to help guide the Foundation’s strategic direction.
Siemens’ steadfast commitment to resource efficiency and sustainability aligns
with the GSF’s mission to build the tools, knowledge and best practices
necessary for reducing software’s environmental footprint.
Siemens technology is enabling enterprises and organizations around the world
to increase decarbonization, resource efficiency and contribute to the
circular economy. The development of this technology and other software is
increasingly contributing to the world’s carbon footprint, which underscores
the need for global industrial companies like Siemens to invest in
sustainability networks such as the GSF. The Foundation focuses on evolving
software to be energy-efficient and compatible with complex software systems
and infrastructure for information and communication technology. Industrial
solutions must meet unique requirements beyond those of traditional enterprise
IT systems. These solutions must also take into account cloud-to-edge
scenarios, installed base and regulatory compliance – all while maintaining
the high standards expected for industrial solutions.
“In the pursuit of sustainability, isolation is costly. We share a common
belief that collaboration and collective intelligence will drive systemic
shifts toward sustainability in tech. Our Siemens Accelerator vision fully
supports this journey towards sustainable, flexible and open SaaS solutions.
In addition, as new technologies emerge, we firmly believe that green software
will play a key role in the future,” said Peter Korte, Chief Technology
Officer and Chief Strategy Officer of Siemens AG.
Siemens joins Accenture, Avanade, BCG X, GitHub, Glob ant, Intel, Microsoft,
NTT Data, Thought works and UBS to demonstrate leadership in building a
culture of green software and to chart the Foundation’s course going forward.
“We’re thrilled to expand GSF’s steering committee with Siemens and we’re
hopeful that the contributions its engineers and researchers will make will
advance green software patterns and tools compatible with intricate, multi-
tiered computing systems for broader industry adoption of green software,”
shared Asmi Hussain, Chairperson and Executive Director of the GSF.
