Supporters
Becoming a Supporter of Ad Net Zero means:
01

You and your company agree with the ambition of reducing the working practices of UK advertising to real net zero by end 2030.

02

You and your company will be taking steps to put the Ad Net Zero Action Plan into practice over the next six-12 months.

03

You and your senior team will share the Ad Net Zero Action Plan with colleagues to ensure there is a clear understanding of the actions everyone working in your company needs to take to achieve our ambition.

Every Ad Net Zero Supporter will be asked to provide information via an annual survey to track the efforts to reduce our industry’s carbon footprint. A Supporter will receive a half-yearly update from Ad Net Zero, updates on important new developments and invites to key events in return for ongoing adoption of the Ad Net Zero Action Plan. Supporters will also be approved to use the Ad Net Zero marque in their own credentials.

Ad Net Zero is a not-for-profit initiative, led by the Advertising Association and its members. We ask for a small donation to become a Supporter and you can do this as an individual or as a company. All funds raised will be ring-fenced to support the tracking and measurement of UK advertising’s efforts to reach to real net zero by end 2030.
