Sostenibilità dell'IT, dall'impatto ambientale del software a quello sociale

Le pratiche di Green Software Engineering sono una disciplina emergente riguardante le pratiche di sostenibilità ambientale all'intersezione tra scienza del clima, pratiche e architettura del software, mercati dell'elettricità, progettazione di hardware e data center. Questo però non prendono in considerazione anche gli altri aspetti della sostenibilità (sociale e di governance), ecco perché
in questo intervento verrà introdotta a tutto tondo il concetto di sostenibilità del software che passa dal debito tecnico per andare alle pratiche di green it e per raggiungere temi di impatto sociale.

25. Corporate Digital Responsibility CDR, CSR, compliance oggi Trasformazione digitale Compliance normativa GDPR/DSA/DMA Norme per l’accesso … Responsabilità sociale/ etica e ambientale CDR Chi è davvero coinvolto? Dal punto di vista degli stakeholder la Responsabilità Digitale d’Impresa, in modo simile alla CSR ma forse anche di più, ci richiede di essere estremamente inclusivi di tutti i diversi tipi di stakeholder coinvolti nei dilemmi etici digitali (Fonte: B. Mueller - Come la cultura fa vivere la Responsabilità Digitale d’Impresa (CDR) – Manuale di informEtica Loescher 2022) Non si tratta solo di ingegneri del software, manager e dipendenti, ma si tratta di utenti del software, clienti della nostra azienda, altre persone i cui dati vengono raccolti per informare il processo decisionale.
