==Mission:==
The data center industry is at the forefront of ever increasing power usage and greenhouse gas emissions in an age when climate change impacts are hard to ignore. OCP Sustainability is working to enable progress towards industry goals by addressing unique challenges and opportunities presented within the Open Compute Project ecosystem. Leveraging the expertise of the OCP community, we offer an open framework and resources for OCP members and data center industry – vendors, suppliers, and end users - to deploy industry best practices that promotes reusability and circularity.  

==Goals:==
Identify key steps in system and component design that require reimagination to promote reusability and circularity.  
Deliver roadmap to increase standardization of calculation, measurement, and disclosure of metrics across the IT product and data center life cycle. 
Publish (how-to) guidelines to offer frameworks for a supply-side resource consumption and implications on our common value chain 
Develop OCP-certified design and sourcing practices and creating circular operating modes.

==Scope of Work:==
* Mission: The primary mission of this workstream is to identify industry best practices that can be shared across vendors, suppliers as well as end user behavior that promotes re-usability and circularity.  With a focus to understand and explain circularity from technical and operational point of view, the workstream is investigating key elements in system and component design, and how to design with reusability in mind.

==Carbon Modeling & Carbon Data in the Datacenter==
[[Carbon Modeling & Carbon Data Page]]

Today many of the companies involved in OCP have set and begun to measure the CO2 impact of their data center and cloud use.  Two of the key opens in this space are:
How to get the most accurate embodied CO2 values from the data center supply chain and how these values can easily be shared.  
There is a variety of intellectual property, approaches to LCA, and composition of components (and their various IP, LCA and compositions) which makes sharing data complex in a way to enable the right business decisions.  

The OCP Carbon Modeling workstream has been created to help solve these problems.  Through an industry and research partnership we will create a specification and initial implementation which enables programmatic access (via API) to sharing the critical sustainability information within the datacenter supply chain.  The business scenario which this API enables initially will be how a silicon foundry can share the relevant sustainability information to a downstream customer purchasing and deploying its products in a datacenter and enabling increased accuracy and sustainability reporting for that product.
