At Making Software Greener (MSG), our mission is simple: help organizations reduce the environmental impact of their IT systems. But sustainability doesn’t happen in isolation. Our work connects directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — a global blueprint for a more sustainable future.
Here’s how our approach to greener software aligns with the SDGs:
 | Software doesn’t just run on “the cloud” — it runs on electricity. Inefficient code and oversized infrastructure waste power, often from fossil fuels. By auditing and optimizing systems, MSG lowers energy demand and makes room for a faster transition to renewables. |
 | Digital infrastructure is now as critical as roads and bridges. We work with organizations to modernize their systems in ways that are efficient, resilient, and sustainable. Greener software builds capacity for innovation without passing hidden environmental costs down the line. |
 | Software bloat shortens hardware lifespans and drives e-waste. Our practices help extend the useful life of devices, reduce unnecessary upgrades, and bring circular economy principles into IT. Sustainable IT means doing more with less. |
 | The carbon footprint of IT is growing rapidly. MSG provides organizations with concrete ways to measure, reduce, and report on the emissions tied to their systems. Every optimization is a direct contribution to climate action. |
 | Through training, workshops, and certification programs, we give professionals the skills to bring sustainability into their daily IT practices. Education creates ripple effects — every person trained is a multiplier for impact. |
 | Sustainable IT isn’t just good for the planet; it’s good for business. By cutting waste and energy costs, organizations save money while building new green jobs and skillsets. Economic growth and ecological responsibility go hand in hand. |
 | We don’t do this alone. MSG collaborates with nonprofits, enterprises, and accelerators to scale sustainable IT. Partnerships make it possible to align global digital transformation with global sustainability goals. |
Why This Matters
Technology has the power to accelerate sustainability — or undermine it. By connecting our work to the SDGs, we make it clear: greener software isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about contributing to a global movement for a sustainable future.
