Earlier posts discussed Scope3 and AdNetZero. Further exploration led me to discover both The Green Bid and AdGreen. In this post, I offer an overview of both organizations. I aim to shine a low powered energy efficient light on how we, as responsible advertisers, can use their platforms. These platforms help us deliver low carbon advertising solutions for our clients.

I once harbored skepticism about sustainability initiatives in the advertising industry. However, I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in my perspective. Today, I am excited to share insights about two pioneering organizations. These organizations are AdGreen and The Green Bid. Both are dedicated to making advertising production environmentally sustainable. Their efforts are not just innovative; they are essential for the future of our planet.

What Are AdGreen and The Green Bid Trying to Do?

AdGreen focuses on reducing the carbon footprint of the advertising industry. They provide a comprehensive Carbon Calculator that allows businesses to measure and understand the environmental impact of their production activities. This tool breaks down emissions by different activity areas. These include air travel, catering, and cloud storage. This breakdown makes it easier for companies to take actionable steps towards sustainability.

The Green Bid aims to inspire change within the creative sectors. It emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices in bidding for projects. They encourage companies to commit to environmentally responsible production methods and transparently share their sustainability efforts with clients and collaborators.
