The Open Group Limited

The Open Group Limited is a private limited company registered in the UK since May 28, 1987. It operates primarily in the field of information technology consultancy activities (SIC code 62020). The firm is part of the global consortium known as The Open Group, which is dedicated to developing open, vendor-neutral technology standards and certifications to enable achievement of business objectives.

While The Open Group is recognized worldwide for its contributions to technology standards such as UNIX trademark certification, Single UNIX Specification, and the TOGAF enterprise architecture framework, the specific UK-registered entity “The Open Group Limited” has stated it does not engage in lobbying activities, as per its compliance and anti-lobbying policy. This means the firm certifies that none of its membership dues are spent on lobbying expenses. The Open Group governance emphasizes strict adherence to antitrust laws and maintains transparent business practices.

Regarding its participation in the EU Transparency Register, if it is accredited, the company’s lobbying profile would highlight any declared lobbying activity on behalf of its interests within EU institutions, including its networking, financial data, meetings, and interaction with EU structures. However, comprehensive detailed data specifically on lobbying activities, lobbyists hired, affiliated networks, and yearly financial lobbying expenditures for this specific firm under the EU register is not publicly available or mentioned in the accessible records.

The Open Group has a significant role in influencing technology policy and standards globally, which may indirectly involve interactions with EU policy stakeholders, but direct lobbying activities appear limited or non-existent according to their disclosures.
