Abstract
Decolonised Professional Framework of Practice for Computing to support Story Re-telling: A decolonial approach to sustainable ICT. ICT4S Conference June 2025.
Sustainable ICT is an emerging field that integrates ethical, environmental, and technical perspec- tives, yet there is little guidance on the role of computing professionals in advancing sustainable practice. Despite the increasing focus on sustainability in computing, there is no established framework to define the responsibilities of ICT professionals in this space. Existing research in ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S) has explored the environmental impacts of computing and the role of technology in supporting sustainability goals, but it has not adequately addressed how ICT professionals should navigate their ethical and professional responsibilities in this evolving field. This research introduces a story re-telling methodology, drawing from Indigenous and decolonial storytelling traditions, to bridge the gap between sustainability principles and professional practice in ICT. Using an action-based, iterative process, we used storytelling cycles to critically reflect on their roles, responsibilities, and ethical decision-making in sustainable computing, capturing insights through qualitative narratives, and articulating a decolonised professional framework of practice for ICT professionals. This approach provides a decolonial framework that clarifies the role of computing professionals in sustainable ICT, offering practical guidance for future practitioners and contributing to a more inclusive and ethically grounded professional practice.
