Feb 18, 2026

4Science supports the Sustainable Libraries Initiative. We’re proud to share that 4Science has made a donation to the Sustainable Libraries Initiative, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability, open knowledge, and community-driven innovation.

The why

Libraries play a crucial role in building environmentally responsible and socially equitable futures. Through open-source technologies and sustainable digital infrastructures, we’re committed to supporting libraries as agents of positive change.

Our commitment

4Science supports the Sustainable Libraries Initiative. This commitment feels especially important at a time when many communities across the world are experiencing the growing impact of extreme weather events. While our contribution is just one step, we believe that strengthening the institutions that support community resilience, education, and long-term planning is part of building a more sustainable future for all.

Our commitment to open-source software ensures solutions are reusable, extensible, and collaboratively maintained, which extends their lifecycles and minimizes resource waste. By contributing substantial code to global research and library communities, 4Science enables organizations to adopt sustainable digital practices without repeated redevelopment.
Our service-based model emphasizes remote collaboration, cloud-ready solutions, and digital knowledge sharing, reducing the need for travel and physical infrastructure. By supporting research data stewardship, transparency, and open access, 4Science enables evidence-based climate research and informed decision-making, directly supporting global climate action.
Our Support

Our support for the Sustainable Libraries Initiative reflects a broader vision: combining technological innovation with environmental and social responsibility to help libraries thrive in a rapidly changing world.

This is just the beginning more to come soon.
