GroupM’s updated carbon calculator to measure ad campaign carbon footprint more accurately
WPP’s GroupM “is upgrading its carbon calculator to measure the carbon footprint of client campaigns more accurately via a new partnership with Scope3, a company that offers supply chain emissions data,” Ad Age’s Aleda Stam reports.
The details: “The new Channel-Level Carbon Calculator integrates GroupM’s carbon measurement methodology, which the agency devised in July 2022 with input from a Big Four consulting firm to compare data across all media channels. The methodology builds on the guidance put forth by Ad Net Zero, which opened a U.S. chapter this month and aims to reduce advertising’s carbon impact. WPP and GroupM are active members of the organization.”
Essential context: “The new methodology looks at emissions data resulting from the digital media supply chain or resulting from the production of a campaign’s creative from ‘cradle to gate,’ measuring an ad’s carbon footprint from inception until it’s seen by a consumer, according to Kieley Taylor, global head of partnerships and managing director at GroupM.
