Datonics achieves certification as a CarbonNeutral® enterprise by investing in verified carbon removal, avoidance and reduction projects with Climate Impact Partners and following the CarbonNeutral ® Protocol

Audience data company Datonics has achieved its certification as a CarbonNeutral® enterprise, becoming the first data provider in the advertising industry to reach this important climate action milestone. Datonics conducted its baseline year (2023) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory Report, following the ISO 14064-1 standard and the GHG Protocol, setting the foundation for its corporate climate action journey.

“Datonics is proud to be among a small group of companies and the first audience data provider to achieve an official certification for carbon neutrality. We are committed to sustainability for the betterment of our global climate,” said Datonics CEO Michael Benedek.

The Datonics 2023 GHG Inventory Report was conducted by climate consultancy, Alpine Project, and independently verified by Cameron-Cole, an emissions verifier accredited under ISO 14065 by the American National Institute of Standards (ANSI). Third party verification of any publicly available GHG report is essential to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of the reporting company’s data.
