Ethics play a central role in governance. Without formal guidelines for both environmental and social aspects of sustainable UX design, solutions may be inconsistent or arbitrary. A project may be strong in visual and technical energy efficiency but fail in areas such as accessibility or data protection.

Recommendations:

• Define shared criteria:  Develop company-specific guidelines that include both environmental and social sustainability metrics for UX.
• Transparency and ethics:  Share ethical guidelines internally so that everyone, from developers to top management, understands and follows principles of social inclusion, data protection, and environmental responsibility.
