Corporate Digital Responsibility: Designing a Sustainable Web
summary
Corporate Digital Responsibility is presented as measuring and reducing real environmental impacts of ICT and the web, citing that the ICT sector emits about 4% of global CO2 and data centers use roughly 2% of global electricity. The talk describes using Website Carbon and the Sustainable Web Design Model for measurement, the CityGreen.it local calculator for audience‑aware CO2 estimates, and concrete interventions—an eco‑mode switcher, dark mode, Grid Aware UX, and reducing image weight—to lower device energy use, page CO2, and returned packages (improving UX reduced returns by about 30%).
