Software and hardware are interdependent, much like a book and its pages, with software dictating the energy consumption of hardware. While hardware uses energy, software determines how much is consumed, impacting the efficiency and longevity of devices from computers to smartphones.

The European Ecodesign Directive sets minimum environmental standards for energy-related products, many of which are managed by software, yet it lacks regulations for software energy efficiency despite its significant effect on energy use.

The environmental label for resource and energy-efficient software aims to lower the energy use of information and communication technology and enhance resource efficiency. Software awarded the Blue Angel ensures efficient use of hardware resources, prolonging hardware lifespan and offering users transparency and flexibility. These criteria also help software developers identify and address environmental impacts of their products.
