The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time. Ad Net Zero represents the advertising industry’s collective drive to reduce the carbon impact of developing, producing, and running advertising. By developing and supporting industry-level solutions, Ad Net Zero aims to help businesses transition to a sustainable future, making our industry more cohesive and effective in addressing the climate emergency.

We’ve embraced this challenge, recognising that every company and individual within our industry has a crucial role to play.

Over the past year, our involvement with Ad Net Zero has been both rewarding and transformative. We’ve taken strategic actions within our business to reduce our carbon footprint, from rethinking our production processes to embracing more sustainable practices in our day-to-day operations. We’ve also actively encouraged our clients to join us in this effort, promoting the benefits of sustainable advertising practices.

Dean Addie from T4 Group shares how our commitment to Ad Net Zero influences their choice in marketing and advertising providers: "At T4 Group, sustainability is at the core of our values. Partnering with Naked Creative, who are dedicated to reducing their environmental impact through Ad Net Zero, aligns perfectly with our mission. Their proactive approach to sustainability assures us that our marketing efforts are not only effective but also responsible."

Naked Creative’s CEO, Erin McCall, commented on the Ad Net Zero initiative: “One of the most inspiring aspects of our journey with Ad Net Zero has been witnessing the power of collaboration. When the entire industry comes together with a shared purpose, we can achieve remarkable things. This cohesive response not only enhances the stature of our industry but also makes a tangible impact on our planet”.

As we move forward, our commitment to Ad Net Zero remains steadfast. We believe that by continuing to work together, we can maintain the momentum and drive even greater positive change.

At Naked Creative, we’re taking strides towards putting the planet at the heart of everything we do. It has been a great journey thus far; attending learning opportunities, doing some reporting, and a LOT of measuring. This keeps sustainability at the forefront, and, we’re even getting competitive in our studio (despite Carla’s fondness for paper). Collectively, it’s exciting to work towards ensuring that our industry becomes better, more trusted, and more sustainable. The challenge is ongoing; currently, we’re researching a new fleet of cars, knowing there’s always more we can do! But we are excited to be on this journey.

There are some incredible businesses taking on the challenge and have jumped on board. Our involvement with Ad Net Zero is a testament to our belief in the power of collective action and our commitment to a sustainable future.
