In practice, green development of digital services means that things are done wisely from the start. The energy consumption of digital services can be significantly reduced by eliminating all unnecessary items from applications. At its simplest, this means, for example, that we strive to design and implement our digital services wisely from the beginning so that they use and maintain as little energy as possible and use only the necessary amount of data. A high-performance system requires fewer resources, is more resilient to failures, and is easy to use and maintain. This saves not only natural resources and effort but also money. Being at the forefront of green development also creates a new kind of meaningfulness to work.

At Netum, we have implemented a Green Developer online course for the entire personnel, which allows each of our employees to promote their competence from green development and coding perspectives. Since many of us work in customer companies and organisations, our green thinking also supports our customers' environmental work.

As part of the Green Office network, we monitor and report our environmental impacts regularly, striving to reduce our carbon footprint and use natural resources as wisely as possible. Three Netum offices already have Green Office certificates (Yliopistonkatu 58 and Sumeliuksenkatu 18 in Tampere and Kansakoulukatu 1 in Helsinki). We have also started the Group's carbon footprint calculations, which for its part, lay the foundation for future sustainability reporting in accordance with the EU directive.
