Recognition for Criteo’s Commitment to Brand Safety
Recently, we were honored to receive the 2022 TAG Certified Against Fraud and Brand Safety Certified Seals from the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG). TAG is the world’s leading program to fight criminal activity and protect brand safety in digital advertising. These certifications, which Criteo has received every year since 2018, recognize the high standards we set to combat invalid traffic and deliver advertising in a brand safe environment.
“For digital advertising to continue to grow and thrive, we must continue to build confidence in the supply chain by maintaining low IVT rates and strengthening brand safety,” said Mike Zaneis, TAG CEO. “By achieving the TAG Brand Safety Certified and Certified Against Fraud Seals, Criteo has demonstrated its leadership in defending our industry against criminal activity and raising the bar on brand safety. We look forward to continuing to work with Criteo in further enhancing the safety of the digital advertising ecosystem.”
Criteo achieved the Certified Against Fraud and Brand Safety Certified Seals through independent validation by a third-party auditor BPA WW, as well as by meeting the many requirements set for intermediary entities by TAG.
A Trusted Partner for the Future of Advertising
“Online advertising has become more and more complex over the last few years with new environments and solutions advertisers can access and leverage. And due to global events, the last couple of years have only confirmed that brand safety and traffic quality stay on top of advertisers’ minds. We are proud to be recognized once again for our efforts by receiving TAG’s Certified Against Fraud and Brand Safety Certified Seals. These certifications reinforce our dedication to be a trusted partner as the leading Commerce Media Platform,” said Francois Zolezzi, Head of Commercial Guidelines / Trust & Safety for Criteo.
We’re looking forward to continuing our collaboration with TAG and to playing an active role in ensuring a trustworthy and safe ecosystem for advertisers and publishers.
