“As the world becomes increasingly digital and the amount of energy consumed by the media industry continues to rise, our industry’s impact on sustainability cannot be overstated,” said Sharethrough CEO JF Cote. “In light of this challenge, we are excited to announce the launch of the Green Media Summit this year to help provide real-world solutions to decarbonise the digital advertising supply path. We look forward to welcoming media professionals, sustainability experts, and digital advertising leaders from around the world to this important event."
51 to Carbon Zero is the official decarbonisation partner for the event, which will be completely carbon neutral. 51-0’s mission is to help companies measure and reduce carbon emissions by building a long-term sustainability plan. In addition to providing Sharethrough with best practices to organise a low-emission event, 51-0's platform will also provide the company with the data to enable the company to compensate for emissions.
“As businesses increasingly prioritise sustainability, it's become clear that industries across the board need to take steps to reduce its environmental impact,” said Luc Marsolais, chief operations officer at Sharethrough. “The inaugural Green Media Summit is an essential opportunity to come together to address one of the most pressing issues of our time. At this conference and beyond, we can find ways to reduce our carbon footprint, minimise waste, and build a more sustainable future."
The Green Media Summit is the latest step in Sharethrough’s leading sustainability initiatives.
