Abstract
Software has a growing negative environmental impact, with great potential for im- provement. However, the scale of software emissions and the benefits of green software development are not widely understood. To increase green software development, a better understanding of the factors affecting it is required. This thesis studies the factors preventing and enabling green software development in ICT companies. Based on literature review, interviewing 10 IT professionals from five different companies and analysis, this study fills a research gap by providing practical insights and addressing the challenges that have not been adequately mapped or addressed previously. A key result is that there isn't a single solution to green software development. Instead, seven linked main factors were identified. By considering the challenges identified and potential solutions, leaders and individuals seeking to initiate green software development within their companies can take relevant action.The scientific community can explore identified areas of interest in more detail.Description
