The Second Pillar

The Sustainability Repository

OOH media platforms take an active role in shaping urban spaces. The WOO Sustainability Taskforce helps members close the gap between commitment and delivery.

Why This Matters

Well placed to lead

The OOH industry is under growing scrutiny on carbon impact. Advertisers, agencies and brands now expect measurable sustainability credentials from their media partners — and reporting requirements are tightening across every major market. The medium already has a strong environmental story relative to other channels, but the gap between aspiration and evidence-based action remains wide.

  • Scope 3 emissions reporting now routinely includes media investment.
  • Carbon measurement at campaign and screen level is becoming a commercial requirement.
  • Sustainable materials, renewable energy sourcing and circular economy practices are moving from pilot to standard.
  • Buyers increasingly expect transparent, comparable data before committing spend.
What the Platform Gives You

Practical tools, shared intelligence

  • Best practice case studies from media owners, suppliers and national associations.
  • Guidance on carbon measurement frameworks including the Global Media Sustainability Framework.
  • Practical approaches to reducing operational emissions.
  • Up-to-date reporting on materials innovation, energy transition and recycling initiatives.
  • Insights from WOO webinars, congress sessions and working groups.

The principle is simple: share what works. The faster the industry builds and adopts consistent, credible sustainability practices, the stronger OOH’s competitive position becomes with advertisers who are making media decisions through a sustainability lens.
