While the precise volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by all forms of marketing and advertising remains difficult to pinpoint, the scale of the impact is becoming impossible to ignore. Digital advertising alone is responsible for an estimated 3.5% of global GHG emissions, a figure that highlights the hidden environmental cost of online marketing campaigns. When we factor in other forms of media—such as print, TV, radio, and outdoor advertising—the total contribution of marketing and advertising to global emissions likely exceeds 4%.
This growing environmental footprint not only reflects the energy-intensive nature of digital infrastructure, data storage, and delivery networks, but also the increased consumption and waste associated with modern marketing practices. As the demand for advertising continues to rise and digital platforms expand, the environmental impact of advertising is set to increase further, underscoring the urgent need for more sustainable practices across the industry.
Effectively Measure the Environmental Impact of Every Campaign Across All Media Channels
In the rapidly evolving landscape of global media, where advertising spend is projected to exceed $1 trillion USD in 2024, the emissions linked to these activities is a material contributor to GHG representing not just a challenge, but a unique opportunity for innovation and leadership.
Empower your decision-making and turn emissions into a vital part of your business’s sustainability strategy. Embrace this chance to elevate your organisation as a leader in the journey toward a net zero future.
