According to the report, more than three-quarters of consumers will spend money on firms that practise sustainable green advertising in five years. Hence, brands must prepare to address the rising consumer concerns about the impact of ads on the environment.
To make brands greener, consumers (42%) want firms to provide clear, comparative information on the impact of their products and advertising. Brands should “collect and communicate credible, verifiable data on the true environmental impact of their media buys and ads to their consumers”.
