Name
The Open Group Open Footprint™ Forum
Description
The goal of The Open Group Open Footprint™ Forum is to create an Open Source, standards-based data platform for tracking environmental footprint data, unifying data recording, processing, and sharing across industries.
We are making progress towards a vision of making it possible to automate the calculation of greenhouse gas data – and, eventually, data such as water usage and landfill – giving companies real-time, reliable insight into their impact. With a defined API to access the data, businesses will be able to cascade environmental insight through the value chain.
Transparency in emissions production is a global concern and we all have a stake in understanding where our planetary impact is occurring and why. By crystalizing today’s data-collection work into a common, open, vendor-neutral standard, we will trigger more significant action.
Standardizing the architecture and API’s will:
– Allow for easier data transfer between companies
– Allow for an ecosystem to be created of compatible applications and services
– Provide a large market for software developers to target
The Open Group provides the legal and organizational framework for the Open Footprint Forum to enable Member companies to collaborate in an open and transparent way for the best interests of the community.
