Leading the digital advertising industry to reduce its global GHG emissions is an emergency.

The environmental impact of online advertising is a new and complicated topic. Digital advertising is still behind many sectors when it comes to reducing GHG Emissions and the fight against global climate change.

Many brands and agencies, and their adtech providers need deeper, globally consistent, insights about the environmental impacts of their digital ad campaigns, to adapt their digital strategy and act to reduce their impact. But most of them don’t know how to proceed.

At the start of 2021, 90% of French digital advertising professionals were not yet measuring the carbon impact of their activity and 63% of them didn’t even know how to proceed*. Consumers are also really concerned about this problem: 81% of millennials in APAC perceive experiencing ads as detrimental for the environment, and 84% of global consumers said they could be more likely to buy form a company which practices sustainable media advertising**.

Remi Cackel, Chief Product Officer at Teads said: We are very excited to offer this solution to all of our clients globally. Doing so is an enormous step for the digital advertising industry.
