Our take
Digital advertising generates more than 2.6 million metric tons of carbon per year. Looking to fix this issue is Scope3, with a platform leveraging machine learning to decipher the best media advertising programs with the smallest carbon footprint.
Sustainability is fast becoming an essential part of business operations, which is why a service like Scope3 has the chance to make a real impact. Its tailored approach, which is supported by a team filled with expertise within the digital media space, sees it work closely with its clients to measure their current impact and create a solution to move forward seamlessly.
Scope3 has partnered with many across the media sector, in a variety of capacities. For example, it has formed partnerships with adtech start-up Greenbids and the Cannes-lions Film Festival, which also share climate crisis concerns. With good funding secured, the company has intentions to expand its global team and further develop its product.
