 So without further ado, unless we have some any pertinent questions right now, I will, in terms of the time, I will just be handing this over to Sammy, first as just an introduction to Sammy. We Sammy is also a the co-chair of Open Footprint Forum. OFP and just a little bit of background on Sammy. So Sammy Lakshman is the global managing partner of digital services at ERM and has more than 20 years of experience working at the cross section of sustainability and technology. Co-developing digital transformation that supports their clients at ERM and sustainability strategies and performance. So Sammy will be covering detailed contents of the MVP one and MVP two. He'll provide an overview of the data platform, the user interface reporting, and the reference architecture. So Sammy, I will turn it over to you. Cool. Thanks, Heidi. And greetings, everybody. And you guys can hear me okay? Yes? Yes, yes. Excellent. Wonderful. Great. Now, thanks everybody for joining us. I was, I was invigorated by this, all the chat sessions, everybody from, you know, Australia to to the West Coast of US, I think we've got. So it's truly a global event that we've got going on today. So thank you everybody for your time and energy today. Hopefully, it's a it's a it's a fun session for us to to to go through. As Johan introduced today earlier to just a few minutes ago, you know, I wanted to take a moment and just kind of talk through what are we trying to accomplish and what do you what will you guys be looking at today and give a little bit of context to this. If you imagine at a very simple level, all of us, everybody on this call is affected in some form or fashion by by carbon emissions, whether you're responsible for reporting it for consuming it for advising companies on on how to to to to manage that data, etc, etc. In some form or fashion, every one of us on this call today is affected by carbon. And if you think of what we're trying to do with the open footprint form and the and the things that you're going to see today and the various presentations, I want us to keep that in the back of our mind and in in the context of today. You know, sharing that information, calculating the carbon footprint, you know, ideally, we want to make that easier. It's quite difficult and appreciate it's not going to happen overnight. It's something that we will continue to work on in our in our in our MVPs, our minimum viable products as well as we'll talk through today. So we want to make it easier for people to be able to calculate carbon footprints. We want to make it easier to share information across organizations and customers. Carbon is no longer just a single organization thing. Everybody here has a supply chain. They have customers. They have people that are providing inputs, whether that's goods, products, services, components, etc. that into into the into the products and services that you're providing. Therefore, we want to make sure that we have the ability to share that information across organization if you're willing to and if you want to. So once again, there's a bit of optionality and opt in into this and we want to make it, you know, easy and flexible enough. But also we want to be able to facilitate that process, visualize a company's carbon footprint across the board. And then also equally, we want to make sure that we're able to report information to external stakeholders and industry groups. I will reemphasize that this isn't us working in a silo. As Johan showed you, there's a number of organizations, companies, technology providers, consulting services companies, industry frameworks, other groups that you'll hear from today and tomorrow and just in general that we're working with. So it's not just, you know, a single initiative that's run by, you know, Sammy or whoever, but rather it's a coalition of the willing is the phrase that I tend to use a lot in these kinds of sessions. We do want to make it industry wide. We do want to make it, you know, a consistent and common way to view and share emissions related data. And so therefore we're really focused on creating a set of deliverables that's going to help facilitate these objectives. And so we'll talk through that today and I've got the fortune of introducing some of the topics in that we're going to see today in greater detail. So as Johan mentioned, you know, we talk about this data platform, we talk about this reference architecture, we talk about the user interface and reporting. I wanted to break that down a little bit in order to articulate what is it that you're going to be looking at over the next day or two. Thanks. So first of all, let's talk about the data platform and Gomar is going to do a wonderful session here right after mine to talk through in greater detail. So I'm not going to steal his thunder. But in a very simplistic manner, what I want you to think about is a consistent way to exchange process and store emissions related data. That's what I want you to consider as you're listening to Gomar. There's some work that's already happened and continue to happen with aligning that with various reporting standards, with reporting frameworks. Many of you on this call are probably going, wait, how does this apply to me in the context of GRI or WBCSD. We ourselves in this group have had those same questions and also are then working to engage with those various organizations. So at the end of the day that it's aligned. But fundamentally, we want to enable that data to be accessible, whether that's accessible through the platform itself that we'll talk about in a little bit, whether that's accessible through APIs into systems that you may already be using or leveraging or companies on this call that are providing to member organizations. Any of that at the fundamental level, we want to make sure that the data is available and accessible and consistently able to be shared. So that's what the data platform is about. As I mentioned, Gomar is going to go into a lot more detail than I will on my session. So let's keep that in the back of our mind. We talk about this reference architecture and reference implementation. At the end of the day, we wanted to create a template. So whether it's from data entry to reporting to integration. I've got a simple schematic thumbnail of a graphic. So Rob later today will talk through that once again in much greater detail. You know, as we go through this will to see that towards the back half of the session today. But ideally for those folks that want to better understand and how to to leverage this the solution that we're developing and working on at OP, we wanted to have a template that can be, you know, implemented relatively easily within your organization, within your company's technology landscapes. It's all based on open source. So we've got the ability to to to to deploy that at a relative ease, so should so to speak. And we've got a lot of the leading technology providers in our open footprint to ensure that that happens, whether that be Microsoft or AWS or IBM or whatever it might be. And once again, we'll talk more about that later today. Finally, at the end of the day, and although there might be tools and systems that you may already be using, we wanted to make sure that at least every person that wanted to or every organization that wanted to leverage the OP had an ability to store view and report the emissions. That's not to say that this will automatically replace anything that you may have already spent time and energy on, but we wanted to make sure that we have a complete picture for any organization that's interested in the open footprint and sharing and reporting carbon emissions. And so we'll look at that in our session tomorrow around the demo. And so if you think about these three buckets, we'll hear a lot about sort of the view of and the importance of carbon. Hopefully the fact that you're on this call recognizes the importance and the significance of carbon. Many of the executives of our various organizations, including mine, have made very firm commitments or around their commitments around reducing or their carbon impacts or their carbon footprints. And ideally, this is a way to help us get there together collaboratively. Okay, so we've got the data platform where we'll look to talk about sharing the data. We've got the reference architecture about how we can then deploy the solution and this data model within your landscape and within your technology interface and your solution providers. And we'll talk a little bit about the user interface. Okay. So that's an overall whole maybe a bit of a preview of the sessions to come. I wanted to leave you with maybe one more slide is at the end of the day, this isn't going to happen overnight. We've been iterating in an agile way and many of you may come away from this call going, wait, what about this? What about that? They haven't addressed this topic. Yes, we're aware that in many ways this is not a sprint but a bit of a marathon, but we're going to get there in an agile and iterative way. So our focus in MVP one that we've been really focusing on right now is around scope one, scope two emissions. We'll talk more about that later today if you're unfamiliar with those terms, but the direct impacts that your organization may have in terms of carbon. We've started to look at some of the technical functionality around user interfaces and the reporting. And all of that is keeping in mind those three elements that I talked about earlier, right? The data platform, the data standards, the reference architecture and that user interface. Later this year, we're going to expand this work. We've done some great work with scope one, scope two, we're going to expand that now into scope three emissions. Start to look at some of the calculations engines. Once again, we'll talk more about that to think in our session tomorrow with the data gumbo folks. And then finally, last but not least throughout this entire set of MVPs were once again continuing dialogues and engagements with all those different organizations that are out there. So that in a nutshell is what we're going to be doing in an open footprint. Hopefully it gives you a good preview of the things to come. There is a lot more detail that I think you'll see in the sessions today. I will also emphasize that this is the start of a journey. There is a lot more work to be done. And part of the reason hopefully you're on this call is to think through how we can collaboratively get there together. Because at the end of the day, I think we've all got the same objectives. We're all living in the same planet, living in the same sort of ecosystem that we've got. And there's a fundamental way to be able to share and access that information so that it benefits all of us around this. Good. That's pretty much all I had for our session today. I wanted to kind of keep it fairly brief and concise. If there's any questions, feel free to chime in throughout the Q&A. Throughout the session today, please do feel free to ask questions big or small. At the end of the day, this is a learning and awareness session. So if at the end of the day we get through all of this and it's just listening to Sammy talk for four or five hours, that'll be an extremely boring session. I can guarantee you that. So we've got a lot of good panelists. We've got a lot of good speakers set up for today. Please do take advantage of that and ask questions throughout. Heidi, if I can turn that back over to you to maybe kick off with Gomar, if that works. Sure. Thank you, Sammy. Well done. And before we jump into the next presentation, are there any questions at this point? You can certainly type them in and the Q&A chat box. Our next session was scheduled to begin in about 15 minutes. So we're a little bit ahead of time, which is fine. But just wanted to make sure we captured any questions at this point. So we spun through this a little bit quickly initially, but I just wanted to point out some of our links here. So we do have an open footprint forum web page that's dedicated to the forum. There you'll find a lot of information about the current data and we have a data sheet that you can actually also download. That gives a good summary, a good snapshot of the open footprint initiative, as well as there's also information that can be found there. Where if you're interested in joining or wanting to learn a little bit more about the open group or the open footprint forum, there's a link there. And you can also just enter your information and someone from our member services will respond back to you. Then we also have the current list of the current members. So you'll be able to see all of the current members that we have had joined us since last September. And then as I mentioned also that we have an open group open footprint forum linked in. It's open to anyone. You don't need to be a member. So feel free to join that as well. And then there's also a webinar that we have on demand that you can listen to that actually provides a nice introduction to the open footprint forum that was created when we launched the forum back in September. So were there any questions? I'm taking a peek just before we introduce to the next one. Next one. This event will be, yes, all the presentations are being recorded. This is being recorded and they will be available in a few weeks time. Okay, so if without further ado then then I'll jump over to... We do have a question that maybe you can answer. Oh, okay. That's from Phillip Harper. And general question is absolutely convinced on the importance on standards. The question is are there sufficient standards for bodies like UN, WF, etc. for the day extends to comply to. I'm pretty sure Gomel can talk to that one in a moment. We should not assume all the standards are there we need. And then we make assumptions. We will define standards where there are no standards. And of course we make it very, very clear. And when standards come about, we'll adopt them. But we're not going to wait for standards to happen. We need it. We'll adopt standards. Of course, we all will go for standards. There's a rule one. If they don't exist and we really need them to move forward, we'll define them. We'll make it very clear what we've done so we can move forward. And I'm pretty sure Gomel can give examples of what we do where we do Gomel.
