From Vision to Action: The Next Chapter for Ad Net Zero Aotearoa
When Ad Net Zero Aotearoa first came together, we began with a simple but ambitious question: what would it take to transform the advertising industry into a force for a low-carbon future?
New Zealand advertisers now have a practical, proven toolkit to be carbon efficient—without compromising budget or performance. Released today by Ad Net Zero Aotearoa, “An Advertiser’s Guide to Carbon Efficiency” outlines ten practical, low-barrier initiatives that can be adopted by brands and agencies today to decarbonise their advertising, while delivering cost savings, improved campaign results, stronger supplier partnerships, and engaged customers.
On June 17th Ad Net Zero officially published version 1.2 of the Global Media Sustainability Framework (GMSF), the first major update a year after its first release last June.
