Welcome to the home of the WordPress Sustainability Team!
We seek to embed sustainable practices into WordPress to ensure the longevity of the project.
To do so, we focus our efforts on the 3 pillars of sustainability:
Social:Finding ways to increase the diversity and wellbeing of the WordPress community.
Environmental:Reducing energy and waste consumption in the development and usage of the WordPress software and its community activities.
Economical:Finding ways to economically support contributions to the WordPress Project, for those who need it.

We’re a new team, founded at WCEU 2023, and we are eager to welcome new members who are willing to help us make the WordPress Project into a leader in sustainability. Get started here!
Continuing the efforts to ensure the sustainability and health of the WordPress project, forming a dedicated working group is now underway. Building on recent discussions fromRecognizing Contributions and Acknowledging ChallengesandProject Health Dashboards, this group will focus on developing and refining approaches to project health.
This marks the kick-off of the Project Health Working Group, one of the Sustainability team’s key focus areas. The goal is to foster a collaborative environment, gather valuable insights, and develop tools to maintain and improve the project’s health.
We’ll begin by demonstrating the first tool in our trials:Bitergia.
🗣️ These hangouts will allow us to discuss:
Team Health:How do we assess the health of various teams in the project and ensure proper calls to contribute?
Individual Contributors:Addressing the needs of organization-sponsored, those seeking sponsorship, self-sponsored, and hobbyists.
Organizational Stakeholders:Providing data for organizations to consider how they sponsor and staff contributors.
WordPress Project Stakeholders:Prioritizing the work of various teams within the project.
