Immediate is the first media owner to offer a solution enabling advertisers to achieve their specific sustainability goals while simultaneously maximising media performance.
IM Clear provides a comprehensive and measurable approach to responsible advertising, measuring ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals against the UNโs 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This ranges from environmental factors through to good health, wellbeing, and reducing inequality.
Powered by The GoodNetโs innovative GoodIQ data, IMClear provides pre and post-campaign ESG reporting and analysis for campaigns running across its portfolio of brands. This includes assessing content, corporate practices, and technology, against over 50 data sources. In aligning a campaign with an advertiserโs sustainability goals, it provides an overall ESG media score and bespoke reporting. IMClear also monitors and optimises the performance of the media.
James Florence, Head of Advertising Technology, Immediate commented: โIM Clear represents a paradigm shift in how brands can connect with their audiences in a responsible and impactful way. Sustainability has rocketed up the priority list for advertisers, while at the same time shifting beyond Carbon measurement and into broader ESG commitments. Our partnership with The Good Net empowers clients to meet these broader ESG objectives and, crucially, still drive business results. This aligns perfectly with Immediateโs purpose-driven mission to bring joy to audiences while doing right thing by our people and the planet.โ
Guy Jones, Co-Founder, The GoodNet added: โAccording to a recent Dentsu survey, balancing performance and sustainability is the second biggest challenge for marketers in 2025. We recognised a significant gap in the market for a holistic sustainable advertising solution that can be customised to an advertiserโs ESG commitment. IM Clear, used our GoodIQ data to provide a comprehensive and measurable approach that drives both sustainability and business performance.โ
