Reviewed Independently

Our methodology, reviewed by PwC and MediaSense, details the scope of production measurement, as well as the benchmarks that have been created, how all calculations are made for each activity, the source data sets for factors and why they have been chosen.

The Business Benefits of Carbon Measurement

We have identified six benefits that carbon measurement can bring to your organisation, beyond a desire to take positive action against climate change.

Build your business

With many agencies and production companies still in the early stages of carbon measurement, becoming an early adopter and showcasing your expertise could unlock work opportunities that may have previously been unattainable.

Get ahead of regulation

With 2030 and 2050 net zero targets getting ever closer, understanding the full picture of the emissions you are responsible for now will give you an advantage when it comes time to declare them.

Save money

While there is a perception that sustainability equals spend, it is entirely possible for the reduced carbon option to be the more affordable one, and may be the incentive an organisation needs to consider a reduced carbon approach.

Create new job opportunities

With innovation comes new opportunities. Many organisations have already introduced sustainability specific roles, and the demand for green skills continues to grow.

Motivate and inspire your team

Working for an organisation which aligns with an individual’s values is becoming an increasingly important criteria for employees, and a focus on sustainability is becoming a non-negotiable for many entering the workforce.

Set, meet, and exceed key targets

Understanding the carbon impact of one contained aspect of your business, such as production, can provide repeated opportunities to trial new approaches, before implementing them elsewhere.

Free to use, funded by the levy

We want to continue offering help to anyone who wants it, for free. To do this, a small voluntary levy on production spend has been introduced, which is paid by pioneering advertisers who are leading the charge on reducing their impact on the environment.
