Mission
Ordnance Survey (OS) is Great Britain’s National Mapping Service. Their location data and expertise is helping to build a modern digital Britain; by creating sustainable, healthy, and connected societies.
Whether it’s managing climate change risk, helping more people to enjoy healthier lives, or connecting people to public services, their customers are using location intelligence to get a greater understanding of the future and shape the places we live in.
They maintain the National Map, a vast database of over 600 million geospatial features, updated 20,000 times a day. Their expertise in location intelligence helps businesses, government, and communities make smarter decisions — whether planning sustainable cities, managing climate risks, or improving connectivity — because everything happens somewhere.
As part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), they are driving the future of geospatial insights, ensuring Britain remains a leader in location data, and enabling a better-connected, more efficient and resilient nation.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
