Introduction to Sustainable Digital Products

Welcome to this introductory course on digital sustainability!

In this course you will learn:

• What digital sustainability means, and why it matters.

• How little it is thought of in current digital development.

• Where to find some inspiration to become more digitally sustainable.

• How to apply a holistic mindset to help you get started.

The course includes research findings from the Digital Product Sustainability Pulse report. This was created in partnership with multiple agencies across Europe, including Green PO, AND Digital, Thoughtworks, Improuv, The Garage and Digital Natives. The full report is available for download from the Green PO website.

You will learn the big factors that effect a digital products carbon footprint, before being invited to view sustainability with a wider lens, looking at both the positive benefits of your product, the handprint, as well as your footprint.

We will look at company and product level inspirations, where people are employing these techniques already, with both sustainability and commercial success, demonstrating the strategic opportunity that most are missing.

We invite you to take this course to get an informative, foundational understanding of the problem space. You will gain some good pointers to start you on your journey to becoming digitally sustainable. Let us enable you to design and create digitally sustainable products, no matter your role within digital.

Come and join us in the sustainable future of digital, where we can thrive across products, people and planet.
