Web sustainability examines how digital technology impacts the physical world using an approach that puts people and the planet first (of critical value in the Ethical Web Principles). Upcoming or existing laws and policies in this sector also set mandatory digital sustainability-related targets. Web sustainability offers many benefits, including accurate measurement and reduction of planetary impact (such as emissions, resource usage, and waste). Web sustainability also includes intersectional issues relating to people (accessibility, privacy, etc.) and shared prosperity (good governance), which can lead to healthier ecosystems overall. PPP (Planet, People, and Prosperity) principles drive these efforts while accounting for a multitude of variables across different disciplines.

The Sustainable Web Interest Group will provide evidence-led guidance alongside methods to observe, measure, and improve the sustainability of digital products and services. Through this guidance created by web developers, implementers, and other stakeholders of the Internet economy, they may better understand the Internet's impact on various forms of sustainability reporting and evolving implementable holistic practices. This not only includes digital emissions but also interconnecting variables that can additionally impact digital sustainability. To address these challenges, designers, developers, and product teams can apply stewardship principles to digital products, services, and data delivered via the Internet.
