Session: Carbon-First Marketing & Decision Intelligence
Marketing is one of the fastest-growing sources of Scope 3 emissions — yet it remains largely invisible in strategic climate decisions. Today, many leading brands are already making carbon-aware marketing choices, but they do so manually, inconsistently, and without a scalable system.
In this talk, Duygu Özen explores how carbon-first thinking changes the role of marketing from a campaign execution function into a decision-intelligent operating system. She will unpack why measuring impact after campaigns is no longer enough, how moving carbon analysis upstream protects ROI and reduces risk, and what it means to design growth systems that are both compliant and credible — without slowing teams down or relying on offsets.
The session offers a practical perspective for CMOs and leadership teams navigating performance pressure, regulatory complexity, and rising expectations around climate accountability.
