Agile and Sustainability
summary
Claims that organizations must halve emissions by 2030 and treat product design as material-and-capital-aware translate into concrete practices: use the Agile Sustainability Manifesto and its four values, apply donut economics and planetary boundaries, and adopt tooling like the Green Software Foundation impact framework. Examples include an energy firm shifting to ~85% renewables and lifting profits ~30% in 10 years, a manufacturer cutting absolute emissions 70%, and finance portfolios outperforming when ethical — plus fast wins: pledge, free green-software course, and a four-week practitioner cohort to move from urgency to agency.
