InMobi announced its strategic partnership with Ad Net Zero, the climate action program with the mission to accelerate the decarbonisation of the advertising industry.
The collaboration underscores InMobi's resolute commitment to sustainability, aligning with Ad Net Zero's mission to revolutionise the advertising landscape through decarbonisation initiatives spanning ad production, distribution, and publication.
“The global advertising industry is at a critical juncture, as it grapples with the environmental impact of its operations. Recent statistics underscore the urgency of the issue, with the internet’s greenhouse gas emissions comprising approximately 4% of the global total – surpassing even the aviation sector. Notably, the energy required to serve one million ad impressions is equivalent to the carbon produced by manufacturing 2.4 million plastic straws.” as per the company statement.
A recent Deloitte survey highlights that 98% of consumers believe brands are responsible for contributing to a better world, and a considerable portion of consumers prefer to be patrons of sustainable brands, the statement further added.
By joining forces with Ad Net Zero, InMobi embarks on a journey to align with the organisation's five-step plan, designed to minimise the carbon footprint of advertising:
Reduce emissions from advertising business operations
Decrease emissions stemming from advertising production
Diminish emissions from media planning and buying
Lessen advertising emissions from awards and events
Harness advertising's potential to drive behavioural change
