While consumers are willing to change their online habits to minimize their carbon footprint, a majority of the responsibility rests in the hands of the advertising supply chain, according to our research at Sharethrough.
GreenPMPs™ to Offset Carbon Emissions
At Sharethrough, sustainability has become a key value for our employees so we committed at the beginning of 2022 to build a carbon offsetting solution. This ultimately led to the launch of our GreenPMPs™ in partnership with Scope3, making Sharethrough the first SSP to offer net-zero carbon emission programmatic advertising.
In true Sharethrough fashion, we wanted to take a human-centric approach to building this product. So we first ran a study to understand consumers’ perspectives and knowledge of carbon emissions to see if and how our solution could fit those perspectives.
What we discovered is that 6 of 10 consumers did not know that browsing the internet emits carbon waste. Yet, many consumers are willing to change their browsing and consumption habits to reduce their carbon emissions. In fact, 74% of people are willing to go as far as reducing their time online by up to 2 hours if it means lowering their environmental impact.
Even in the digital world, global CO₂ emissions are on the rise, with 1 ad impression generating an average of 1g of carbon waste. More importantly, digital ads contributed to a 28% increase in the average consumer’s carbon footprint, according to a report by Purpose Disruptors.
In fact, the carbon emissions caused by the internet are equal to the amount of carbon generated by the aviation industry. This means that 1 million ad impressions are the equivalent of 1 round trip flight from Boston to London.
Rather than placing the onus on consumers to change their online behaviors, the ad tech industry needs to act now. 80% of consumers said they prefer brands that are actively working to reduce their carbon emissions. Additionally, 55% of consumers believe brands play a more important role than governments to create a better future.
Together, we can work to decarbonize the programmatic supply chain and build a clean media ecosystem for a greener tomorrow.

Behind Headlines: 180 Seconds in Ad Tech is a short 3-minute podcast exploring the news in the digital advertising industry. Ad tech is a fast-growing industry with many updates happening daily. As it can be hard for most to keep up with the latest news, the Sharethrough team wanted to create an audio series compiling notable mentions each week.
