Web Sustainability Guidelines

The Web Sustainability Guidelines can help web teams create digital products and services that work better for all people and our shared planet. These guidelines were created by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Sustainable Web Interest Group.

The guidelines are currently in draft form and undergoing horizontal and wide review. After review, they will be published as an official W3C Note.
