This repository contains the documentation website for the Software 5.0 Framework, developed as part of the Master’s thesis:
Integrating Social and Ecological Sustainability in Software Product Development
Technical University of Munich
Author: Monika Zielińska (2025)
Software has a dual role in sustainability:
it can enable responsible innovation, but it can also reinforce ecological and social challenges.
Yet, sustainability is still marginally embedded in software engineering education and practice.
The Software 5.0 Framework addresses this gap by providing:
- Practical methods
- Ready-to-use templates
- Guidance for embedding social and ecological sustainability in software projects
This website serves as the documentation hub for the framework.
