Operating under the auspices of The Open Group, the Open Footprint Forum (OFP) provides a unique platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and problem-solving. The Forum offers a range of activities and deliverables, including working groups, webinars, and white papers, aimed at advancing the understanding and adoption of emissions data standards and solutions.
The Open Footprint Forum aims to address the practical challenges faced by companies in measuring, managing, and reporting their GHG emissions. The OFP Forum brings together a diverse range of stakeholders, including industry leaders, policymakers, NGOs, and technology providers, to develop innovative solutions, establish best practices, and create a unified approach to GHG emissions reporting. The work of the OFP supports leading GHG accounting standards and software applications by providing a universal data standard that may be broadly adopted to facilitate data transferability and integrity.
The standards work of the OFP sits alongside of and is complementary to standards and frameworks from WBCSD (PACT framework), GHG Protocol, ISSB, GRI, PCAF, and others, and we are in fact working with most of these organizations to ensure alignment.
