Moving Forward on Sustainability

The SDVI commitment to sustainability is real and measurable!

Sustainability has always been a core tenet of SDVI. We have a responsibility – to the environment and to our customers – to ensure that we operate every aspect of our business in a sustainable manner.  Since its founding, the company has been ‘distributed by design’, eliminating much of the carbon footprint traditionally associated with getting to and being in an office environment. Today we’re taking commitment further.

Supply Chains

All SDVI Rally media supply chains are completely carbon neutral.

Net-Zero Supply Chains are the keystone of our sustainability commitment. Launched in 2022, the Net-Zero Supply Chain initiative makes customer usage of the Rally media supply chain platform since the beginning of 2021 completely carbon-neutral. SDVI offsets the entire carbon footprint of our customers’ Rally usage, including the use of third-party applications.

Reporting on Emissions and Offsets

As part of our commitment to tangible, verifiable sustainability practices, SDVI has set the following standards for accounting and reporting on the company’s carbon footprint.

Offsetting Carbon Emissions

SDVI will calculate the CO2 emissions from all business activities on a quarterly basis and will offset its carbon footprint by participating in a qualified reforestation program to reduce CO2 emissions equal to what SDVI is generating.

Proof of Net-Zero

SDVI will make its accounting of all carbon emissions and the corresponding offset contributions available for audit purposes to verify the attainment of net zero emissions.
