Evitec Solutions Implements Green Coding Guidelines to Enhance Environmental Sustainability
We at Evitec Solutions are proud to announce the implementation of Green Coding Guidelines, which we now follow in our software development processes. This initiative aligns with our strategy to position ourselves as a responsible fintech company that produces high-quality code while minimizing our environmental impact.
We are committed to continuous learning and innovation. That’s why we’re especially proud that our Green Coding Guidelines were developed as part of a thesis project. These guidelines are designed to integrate eco-friendly practices into our Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring that our coding processes not only meet the highest standards of efficiency and performance, but also contribute to reducing our environmental footprint.
Jaakko Hirvelä, a key contributor to this initiative, emphasizes the importance of green coding:
— Green coding is the act of designing, developing, maintaining, and reusing software systems in a way that requires as little energy and natural resources as possible. This not only helps in reducing operational costs but also aligns with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which mandate companies to report their environmental impacts and efforts to mitigate them.
Janne Leppänen, CTO, adds:
— The adoption of Green Coding Guidelines is a significant step towards our goal of becoming a Nordic champion in fintech and leader in sustainable digitalization. These guidelines help us write efficient code that uses less energy, making our work more practical and better for the environment. It’s a collective effort that requires patience and open-mindedness from everyone involved. We’re happy to be on this journey together.
As we move forward, we are committed to exploring and implementing more sustainable practices in our software development. We believe that by doing so, we can continue to deliver high-quality products while contributing to a more sustainable future.
