GARM and Brand Safety

Standards and Frameworks

GARM Brand Safety Floor and Sustainability Framework

The GARM has developed and will adopt common definitions to ensure that the advertising industry is categorizing harmful content in the same way across the board. These eleven key categories have been identified in consultation with experts from GARM's NGO Consultative Group. Establishing these standards is the essential foundation needed to stop harmful content from being monetized through advertising. Individual GARM members will adopt these shared principles in their operations, whether they are a marketer, agency, or media platform.

GARM Adjacency Standards Framework

Designed to serve as a companion to the GARM Suitability Framework, the Adjacency Standards Framework provides for a common structure in evaluating the brand safety and suitability of an ad placement relative to an ad’s position to nearby content — within specific media formats
