Traditional software engineering has not fully supported sustainability as a relevant, first-class concern.

penzenstadler.2013.definitionsustainabilitysoftware (pg. 2)

As technological efficiency alone will not produce sustainability (cf. Jevon’s paradoxon), sustainable development requires a combination of efficiency and sufficiency strategies, inter alia by decoupling economic growth from environmental impacts and from the use of natural resources.

penzenstadler.2013.definitionsustainabilitysoftware (pg. 2)

Sustainability during the initial software development process means development with responsible use of ecological, human, and financial resources.

penzenstadler.2013.definitionsustainabilitysoftware (pg. 2)

Sustainability of the software system during its maintenance period until replacement by a new system includes continuous monitoring of quality and knowledge management.

penzenstadler.2013.definitionsustainabilitysoftware (pg. 3)

Sustainability of the software system as product with respect to its use of resources for production is achieved, for example, by using green IT principles, sustainably produced hardware components, and optimising the required logistics for assembly, etc.

penzenstadler.2013.definitionsustainabilitysoftware (pg. 3)

Sustainability in the usage processes within the application domain triggered by the software system as product takes into account responsibility for the environmental impact and designing green business processes.
