Cedara, a carbon intelligence platform, has introduced a new tool designed to measure carbon emissions in out-of-home advertising. This tool is claimed to be the first to measure both traditional and digital OOH advertising according to the latest standards from the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) and Ad Net Zero, offering enhanced transparency in the industry.

The new product addresses the increasing demand for comprehensive emissions reporting within the advertising sector. Cedara’s OOH measurement tool extends its platform’s capabilities to additional media channels, enabling detailed tracking and reduction of carbon emissions from marketing activities.

Cedara’s platform is designed to manage data from multiple suppliers, offering users a clear understanding of their overall emissions. The tool simplifies compliance with industry standards, automating complex measurements to support the sustainability goals of all involved parties.

Our solution allows media owners, vendors, and agencies to measure their OOH emissions accurately, using methodologies that meet industry standards. It provides full visibility across the OOH supply chain, offering valuable insights for making sustainable decisions.”

The OOH measurement tool provides detailed insights, including:

With this new solution, companies can now easily track and measure the carbon emissions of their OOH campaigns. It’s a practical step toward greater transparency and sustainability, allowing businesses to take actionable steps toward reducing their environmental footprint.
