What is the Planet Pledge?
The Planet Pledge is a framework commitment for brand owners to help make marketing part of the solution to the climate emergency. There are four commitments:
- To join, and champion, Race to Zero and to encourage your partners to do the same.
- To help raise the bar in terms of knowledge on marketing and sustainability.
- To work together to improve our communications to make a positive difference by encouraging sustainable behaviour changes.
- To build trust in our communications and helping our consumers make sustainable choices with confidence.
What is Race To Zero?
Race To Zero (RTZ) is a global campaign to get support from businesses, cities, regions and investors to reach net zero in the 2040s (or sooner) or by 2050s latest. It is an umbrella initiative which incorporates many other initiatives designed to achieve the same goals – for example B-Corp, Business Ambition for 1.5. More information here.
How do we know who is part of Race To Zero?
There are various sources for this including:
- from the UN here (search by qualifying initiative e.g. B Corp);
- from science-based targets i.e. Business Ambition for 1.5, one of the biggest initiatives in Race To Zero, here (search by market or company).
How much does it cost?
There is no cost in signing up to the Pledge.
How will you measure progress?
Each of the four commitments has a metric associated with it which the World Federation of Advertisers’ will report against on an annual basis. The key metric, however, is the number of brand owners (and their partners) who commit to Race To Zero.
