Out of Home makes an impact

Out of Home (OOH) advertising is one of the most influential and visible media channels, shaping the way brands connect with communities globally. With its public presence and creative flexibility, OOH not only drives business success but also plays a vital role when it comes to social impact, sustainability, and innovation.

01  Social impact

What is social impact?

We believe that great OOH and DOOH advertising can do more than promote brands—it can power change. As a media owner embedded in public spaces, we take our social responsibility seriously, using our platform to deliver measurable social impact and help build stronger, more inclusive communities.

Through partnerships, purposeful design, and environmental innovation, we’re creating a new standard for sustainable OOH—from carbon-reducing infrastructure and biodiversity initiatives to campaigns that amplify vital causes and community voices.

By reimagining what OOH can achieve, we’re not only connecting brands with people in meaningful ways—we’re helping to shape a better future for everyone.

Our journey to Carbon Net Zero

OOH is one of the most visible media channels, which means we have a responsibility to embrace sustainable innovation. That’s why we’re constantly evolving—adopting greener practices that help reduce our impact while keeping OOH an effective and responsible advertising platform.

We’re cutting emissions by switching to energy-efficient digital displays powered by renewable energy and LED technology. We’re also making smarter material choices, using more recyclable, biodegradable, and carbon-conscious options to lower our environmental footprint. OOH is becoming a large part of smart city infrastructure, supporting public services, green urban planning, and community improvements. And because real change happens through collaboration, we’re working with brands and organisations that share our commitment to sustainability.

OOH continues to evolve, embracing technology, sustainability, and creativity to stay relevant in an ever-changing world. Whether through data-driven campaigns, smart city integrations, or impactful storytelling, OOH remains a powerful and responsible media choice.

Clear Channel remains committed to leading this evolution, ensuring that OOH continues to be meaningful, effective, and forward-thinking.
