Arup and the Open Data Institute announce three-year net zero data partnership renewal
Arup and the Open Data Institute (ODI) have announced the renewal of their strategic partnership as the organisations celebrate 11 years of collaboration.
Last updated: April 2024
The partnership between global engineering and sustainable development consultancy Arup and not-for-profit ODI will continue to accelerate net-zero data-sharing initiatives.
Informing the development of the ODI’s new net zero dedicated programme, the long-standing partnership published a landmark report titled Exploring net zero strategies in the built environment in 2023. The two organisations then convened leading actors from across the public and private sector to discuss the report and shape intervention prioritisation.
The collaboration will continue to develop a roadmap for the progression of net zero data infrastructure. The creation of net zero and carbon data strategies will link sustainability, business, and data agendas together. In this next phase of the partnership, Arup and the ODI look to help simplify and accelerate the flow of information across the value chain, unlocking further knowledge sharing, innovation, and productivity throughout the sector.
Further accelerating this next stage of research and delivery, the ODI, in partnership with Arup, is inviting those involved in net zero data sharing across the built environment sector to connect and collaborate.

We are delighted to continue our relationship with our colleagues at Arup and to embark on the next phase of exciting – and important – work with them. We have seen how committed coalitions can achieve real change. We look forward to seeing how our work with Arup will help to facilitate greater sharing of net-zero data in the built environment sector and lead to innovation, collaboration and ultimately, climate change solutions.
We know there are already a number of data-sharing initiatives in the built environment working to reduce carbon emissions, including the Open Climate Data Initiative (OCDI) and Open Net Zero. The ODI is not setting out to create another one. Instead, we are pledging to help connect existing initiatives through dedicated engagement, convening, and, where needed, developing new data-sharing infrastructure
