At Trail Openers Oy, we are committed to promoting responsible and resource-efficient digital services. Green ICT is not just a strategic focus for us — it is present in the concrete work we do through customer projects and industry development initiatives.
We are actively participating in international ISO standardization work, where global guidelines and metrics are developed to improve the energy efficiency and environmental impact of ICT systems. Our involvement provides us with valuable insight into global developments and allows us to influence these standards from a Finnish perspective.
We are a proactive corporate partner in the VISIIRI project, a national Green ICT development program coordinated by TIEKE and its partners. VISIIRI aims to develop methods and practices that help organizations measure and reduce the environmental footprint of their digital services. At Trail Openers, we actively contribute to the development of tools and operational models that integrate Green ICT principles into everyday organizational practices.

We have delivered numerous trainings, lectures, and workshops on Green ICT and responsible digital development to organizations such as KONE, SOK, Statistics Finland, and the University of Helsinki. These sessions have covered topics including energy efficiency, measuring the carbon footprint of digital services, responsible software development, and accessible user experience design.
Trail Openers has developed a holistic approach for our customers to implement Green ICT methods smoothly within their existing development processes. This model does not require major structural changes but complements current practices. It enables significantly lower energy consumption, more efficient use of resources, and reduced environmental impact. At the same time, it leads to clear cost savings in the development and maintenance of digital services.
Concrete projects and measurable results
We have a wide range of client projects where Green ICT methods are already in active use. Some of these projects are completed, while others are ongoing. Our experienced architects and developers apply Green ICT principles both technically and strategically. Thanks to these projects, our clients have been able to evolve their digital services toward more sustainable and cost-effective outcomes — without compromising productivity.
Take the first step toward greener digital development
We also provide our clients with a Green Software Playbook, which helps them get started on the journey toward more responsible and efficient software development.
