Are you Gold Standard certified?

We’ve widened the scope and strengthened the criteria of the Gold Standard to include steps for retail media and CTV for the first time, as well as adding a sustainability pillar to formalise efforts to reduce carbon emissions across the digital advertising supply chain. As IAB UK's CMO James Chandler puts it, these changes result in “a substantially strengthened initiative”. We've also reviewed the certification process to ensure that it’s efficient and easier for companies to navigate.
