## [Arc](https://arc-app.gbci.org/home) is a software platform that collects, manages, and analyzes data and communicates it as a score.&#x20;

Users utilize the score to benchmark and report performance on a global scale. Their score also supports certification programs offered by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems. Through the use of Arc, users are able to tell how their city, community, building or space can take climate action.

### Read before continuing:

We will always prioritize our products over the Arc platform, so when promoting Arc in conjunction with a product (example: LEED v5), we will use LEED v5 (product) branding rather than that of Arc.&#x20;

\
However, there may be instances where we promote Arc specifically, especially as the functionality and integration partner network grow. Always check with the project stakeholders before designing to ensure the proper use of Arc’s branding. &#x20;
