Sustainable architecture in an agile organisation
summary
EU CSRD forces mandatory sustainability reporting (first filings in 2025), data centers already emit ~2.5–3.7% of global CO2 and ICT could reach 14% by 2040, so teams must add measurable steps: run a life cycle assessment for each epic, label and prune cold/dark data so it moves to green hosting or is deleted, add sustainability fields to procurement/TCO checks, apply Green Software Foundation architecture and coding principles, and try tools like g n to shut down servers and steer deployments to greener grids.
