Green coding – Nord: Software lifecycles should now include detailed information on greenhouse gas emissions

Nord detailed its 2023 Annual Impact Report, including the first-ever calculation of greenhouse gas emissions, social initiatives and broader details related to the opening of the state-of-the-art office.

The company suggests that detailing greenhouse gas emissions has now become part of the central responsibility of application software lifecycle management (SDLC).

The report comes from Nord Security, home of NordVPN, NordLayer, NordPass, NordLocker, NordStellar and Saily.

Nord Security surveyed over 5,000 people, including employees, customers, investors, suppliers and non-governmental organizations, to identify key directions for further improvement.

Nord Security has joined the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), becoming part of a community committed to making the world a better place by promoting human rights, protecting the environment and fighting corruption.

Addressing these topics – from climate change and renewable energy to diversity and inclusion – the company insists it has identified key areas of responsibility for shaping its future strategy.

“At Nord Security, we strive to make no compromises, either in the quality and availability of our cybersecurity solutions, or in the steps we take to build a more sustainable world. We are excited to share our 2023 Impact Report and showcase our efforts to build a radically better Internet for a radically better future,” says Nord Security co-founder Eimantas Sabaliauskas.

Last year, Nord Security carried out its first-ever emissions calculations.

They include emissions that a company owns or directly controls, such as leased cars and fuel consumption, and indirectly through purchasing or using energy to power and heat office spaces and co-located servers in data centers.
