Most consumers do not know that digital ads and browsing the Internet cause carbon emissions. Through our extensive research and evaluating possible solutions, we discovered that a majority of people believe brands can have a greater impact than governments in creating a cleaner future.
Now more than ever it is important that every organization needs to play their part, and as a key player in ad tech, we believe that Sharethrough can help brands to build an environmentally friendly programmatic advertising ecosystem. That is why we partnered with Scope3, to create our Sharethrough GreenPMPs™ and provide advertisers with the first, real and meaningful solution to offset the carbon emissions caused by running ads throughout the programmatic supply chain and achieve net zero carbon emissions on their digital ad campaigns.
But how do Scope3’s carbon offsetting initiatives make ads carbon neutral? How can advertisers educate consumers about Green Media Products and other carbon removal projects? We will answer these questions and more as we discover how GreenPMPs™ help decarbonize the programmatic supply chain and build a cleaner media ecosystem.
“OMD UK is proud to be an anchor partner for this initiative, bringing more awareness and real solutions to the entire digital media ecosystem. We’re excited to see the results so we can continue to learn and advance our work in this area as we look to support our own and our clients' sustainability ambitions.” - Suzy Ryder, Chief Digital Officer, OMD UK
The Environmental Impact of Digital Ads
Although global carbon emissions are on the rise, not many consumers know that their internet browsing habits and digital ads have an impact on the environment. Here at Sharethrough, we take a human-centered approach to our research and our study revealed that 6 of 10 consumers did not know that browsing the internet emits carbon waste.

At the same time, digital ads contribute to a 28% increase in the average consumer’s carbon footprint, according to a report by Purpose Disruptors.
With 1 ad impression generating an average of 1g of carbon waste, the amount of carbon emissions caused by the internet is estimated to be equal to that of the aviation industry. To put things into perspective, an ad campaign delivering 1 million impressions will emit the same amount of carbon as 1 round trip flight from Boston to London for 1 passenger!
This is incredibly impactful, so much as many consumers are willing to change their browsing and consumption habits to reduce their carbon emissions. In fact, 74% of people are willing to spend less time online by up to 2 hours if it will reduce their impact on the environment.
Sharethrough GreenPMPs™
We partnered with Scope3 to launch GreenPMPs™, providing advertisers with the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions caused by running digital ad campaigns and to show their target audience they are doing their part to help build a cleaner future.

By running ad campaigns through our GreenPMPs™ on the Sharethrough Exchange, a portion of the ad spend will go to funding Scope3’s high-quality carbon offsetting initiatives to make digital ads truly carbon neutral.
“We are happy to see a tech company like Sharethrough take leadership on creating a turnkey way for agencies like us to achieve net-zero carbon emissions on our programmatic media buys." - Axel Dumont, President, Cossette Media
Advertisers can now search for GreenPMPs™ directly in their Demand Side Platforms (DSP) and activate them for their programmatic campaigns with just a click. And if brands have specific targeting requirements for their campaigns, we also enable advertisers to create custom GreenPMPs™ across display, video, and native advertisements, by vertical markets and other performance signals and KPIs.
How Carbon Emissions are Offset from Ad Campaigns
By running ad campaigns through the GreenPMPs™ on the Sharethrough Exchange, a portion of the ad spend goes towards Scope3’s funding of high-quality carbon offsetting initiatives such as:
- Reforestation
- Carbon Soil Storage
- Direct Air Capture
- And more!
But How Does This Make Ads Carbon Neutral?
Scope3’s funds carbon offsetting initiatives to neutralize the carbon waste known as Scope 3 emissions caused by running digital ads. Carbon emissions can be categorized as Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3. Essentially, Scope 1 and Scope 2 are emissions that are owned or controlled by a company, like:
- Data Storage
- Employee Travel
- Office Power
- etc.
Whereas, Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it, such as the supply path. While Scope 3 emissions are more difficult to calculate, it is estimated that they account for 65-95% of a company’s total footprint.
Sharethrough’s Green Media Products are measured using Scope3’s robust industry data that looks at all of the emissions in a brand’s programmatic supply chain, or, Scope 3 emissions.
To counteract the same amount of carbon emissions required to run campaigns on Sharethrough’s GreenPMPs™, Scope3 measures the carbon emissions of the entire programmatic supply chain and allocates part of the ad spend to fund high-quality carbon removal initiatives.
“GreenPMPs™ are the easiest and most impactful thing brands can do to help decarbonize advertising. By building carbon into its GreenPMPs™, Sharethrough is allowing brands and media buyers to take action to fight climate change without compromising on campaign results.” - Brian O’Kelley, CEO, Scope3

In a survey of 1,000 adults across the U.S., Canada and the U.K., 80% stated that they favor brands that are working to reduce their carbon emissions.
