How does IAB's carbon action stack up? DitchCarbon scores companies based on their carbon action and commitment to reducing emissions. Read about our methodology to learn more.
Mean score of companies in the Media Production industry. Comparing a company's score to the industry average can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
IAB's score of 23 is lower than 64% of the industry. This can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.
As of the latest available data, IAB has not reported any carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of specific emissions data for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. Furthermore, IAB has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. This absence of targets suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the current context, IAB's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent organisation. As such, the organisation's approach to carbon emissions and climate action is not yet defined within the available information.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
IAB is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
