Siemens joins Green Software Foundation’s steering committee to drive sustainable software development
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 Xcelerator 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 Körte, Chief Technology Officer and Chief
Strategy Officer of Siemens AG.
Siemens
joins Accenture, Avanade, BCG X, GitHub, Globant, Intel, Microsoft, NTT Data,
Thoughtworks 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 Asim Hussain,
Chairperson and Executive Director of the GSF.
