Sustainability by Design

Sustainability by Design reflects our belief that responsible technology creates long-term value for people, businesses and society. At GFT, we design and apply technology with responsibility at the core – ensuring it is ethical, environmentally conscious, and inclusive. Our Sustainability by Design approach addresses three critical facets within software development and technology application: environmental impact, ethical-legal compliance, and social inclusion.

GreenCoding

Launched in 2020, our GreenCoding approach helps our employees, freelancers, clients and other partners develop and run software in a more energy-efficient way. Our GreenCoding methodology stresses environmental responsibility through resource-efficient programming.

Data Protection by Design

Since 2018, GFT has followed a Data Protection by Design approach, ensuring that processing activities and business practices align with legal and ethical principles of human dignity across all relevant IT systems and projects. 

Data protection is a key foundation for trustworthy AI and responsible digital transformation. For more information, visit Responsible AI at GFT Technologies.

Inclusive Coding

The “digital divide” is the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. People who are digitally excluded are often also financially excluded, dependent on cash, and must pay more for certain goods and services. Digital exclusion can result from geographical limitations of digital services, gender, age, socio-economic situation and education. We believe software designers can help ensure that everyone can participate in society. Our internal Inclusive Coding community ensures that code respects and reflects the diversity of all people who use technology. 

By combining these three pillars, Sustainability by Design ensures our technology not only meets functional goals but also supports environmental stewardship, protects individual rights, and fosters social inclusion.
