Adlook, a demand-side platform that has just opened to the US market, is seeing green.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company, which was incubated within the ad-tech group RTB House and is currently operating in France, the UK, and Latin America, has created a bidding tool that lets brands use carbon emissions data when optimizing their ad buys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The tool, called Greenpath, was created alongside Scope3, an ad-tech company that measures emissions from digital ads. While programmatic bids tend to center around price, publisher, and targeting, Adlook claims Greenpath can fold in emissions data, prioritizing publishers that it identifies as having lower emissions, aiming to \u201cexpedite the adaptation of more sustainable media practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking [Scope3\u2019s] data in real time and integrating it into our bidder,\u201d Patrick Gut, VP and head of sales for Adlook\u2019s US business, said. According to Gut, the DSP will \u201cserve the impression on the lowest carbon-emitting path\u201d while still accounting for a brand\u2019s performance objectives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company will charge advertisers by CPM, though Gut declined to share the names of specific companies that have used the DSP. He noted that IPG has tested the tool, with results to be published later on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An ad impression\u2019s carbon footprint depends on a number of factors, though lighter ad loads tend to have less of an impact. Made-for-advertising sites, however, are likely responsible for a \u201ctremendous amount of emissions,\u201d Gut said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though maybe less tangible than phasing out plastic toys from Happy Meals, the DSP is the latest in a long line of tools aimed at addressing ad tech\u2019s impact on climate. The industry isn\u2019t immune from the challenges of the climate crisis\u2014programmatic advertising generates 215,000 metric tons of carbon emissions across just five major economies every month, the equivalent of about 24 million gallons of gasoline, according to Scope3\u2019s State of Sustainable Advertising report released earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still, the data-center industry, which John McGrath, technical product director of climate intelligence at the Rocky Mountain Institute, said includes programmatic advertising, is \u201cnot a high-emitting industry\u2014\u201d at least not compared to fossil fuel, aviation, and steel and aluminum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Specific figures vary on digital advertising\u2019s contributions to climate change. A MediaMath report estimated that digital advertising activities generate 3.5% of annual global greenhouse gases, including contributions like business travel; another figure from the BBC suggests that the internet, which encompasses digital advertising and a whole lot of other things, accounts for 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions. Transportation, for comparison, accounts for 28% of US emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even so, some in the ad-tech industry are trying to trim emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In May, Scope3 announced a tool that can be integrated into other DSPs, called Climate Shield, which effectively blocks advertisers from buying inventory classified as \u201cclimate risk\u201d and \u201chigh emissions.\u201d The company also has a partnership with the ad exchange Sharethrough, which has created a private programmatic marketplace that accounts for emissions throughout an advertiser\u2019s supply chain. Companies like Good-Loop use an online tag that \u201ccan measure and track the carbon cost of digital campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From a climate perspective, carbon offsets are a \u201cvalid and important tool, because we\u2019ll never reduce emissions in any industry to zero,\u201d McGrath said, but added that \u201cit\u2019s far, far better to actually reduce your emissions. Like, infinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
