GHG Protocol

Information Model Sustainability

What I make of it

An accounting standard that functions as the emissions data model everyone else maps to.

Also in the API standards catalog

This standard shows up on both sides of the house — as a data model here, and as a standard applied in API operations. Same standard, two lenses.

Not enough of this standard was readable to place it in a band. That is a limit of what I could see, not a finding against the standard.

A separate measure from the Kin Score, which rates API providers. This rates how current a standard is in how it is expressed, published and paid for — not how good it is. EDIFACT and X12 score low here and move an enormous share of world trade.
