Despite the drive towards greater sustainability across industries, IT leaders could be doing more to reduce their carbon footprint through sustainable software development practices.
A recent Salesforce report found three-quarters of the more than 1,000 technologists surveyed said they want to develop software applications that do less harm to the environment, but more than half (52%) admitted they are not using energy efficient programming languages.
Meanwhile, the survey revealed 76% of respondents said their leadership has not made sustainable software development a priority.
