The Time to Act is Now: How Can We Address Sustainability in Digital Advertising?

7th April | 12:00 CET - Register here!

Did you know that the digital advertising industry is accountable for 2% of carbon emissions? 

But what are we doing as an industry to play our part and help tackle this?

To kick off IAB Europe’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability in the European Digital Advertising Industry event series, our very own Chief Economist, Daniel Knapp will dive into what sustainability is, and why it matters to our industry today. He will look into the possible ways that we can approach the growing crisis and look at what can be done as an industry to help ensure a sustainable future for our planet. 

A panel of industry experts will then join the session to look at what’s next and share what can be done from the different corners of our ecosystem to help combat the problem. From creative to programmatic supply and beyond we will look at how each element of our industry can make small changes today that can have a huge impact on tomorrow. 

The event will finish with a keynote presentation from Brian O'Kelley, Scope3 on how we can make sustainable advertising a reality.
