The Open Standard Transforming Emissions Data Management

Organizations around the world are under increasing pressure to track, calculate, and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accurately and transparently. Yet for many, the process remains fragmented — relying on spreadsheets, proprietary tools, and incompatible data formats that make consistent reporting a costly challenge. The Open Group Open Footprint® Standard, Edition 1.0, Part 1: Data Model General Requirements, published by The Open Group in April 2026, is designed to change that.
