Introduction to Sustainable Digital Products

Welcome to an introductory course on digital sustainability. In this course you will learn what this is and why it is an issue, how little it is thought of in current digital development, where to find some inspiration to becoming more digitally sustainable and how to apply a holistic mindset to get you started.

The course includes research results from the Digital Product Sustainability Pulse report created in partnership with multiple agencies across Europe, including Green PO, AND Digital, Thoughtworks, Improuv, The Garage and Digital Natives.

You will learn the big 3 factors that effect a digital products carbon footprint before being asked to view sustainability wider, looking at both the positive benefits of your product – the handprint – as well as your footprint. We will look at both company and product level inspirations, where people are employing these techniques already with both sustainability and commercial success- showing the strategic opportunity that most are missing out on.

We invite you to take this course to get a really good foundational understanding of the problem space as well as some good pointers to start you on your journey to become digitally sustainable, and design and develop digitally sustainable products – no matter your role within digital.

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