CleanTech Times is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial integrity, transparency, and reader trust. This Sponsored Content Policy outlines our guidelines for the creation, labeling, and publication of sponsored content across our platform. Sponsored content includes articles, interviews, videos, infographics, or other media formats paid for by advertisers or brand partners.
Definition of Sponsored Content
Sponsored content refers to material that is created in collaboration with, or provided by, a sponsor. It is intended to promote the sponsor’s products, services, innovations, or industry thought leadership, and is clearly distinguished from our editorial content.
Editorial Independence
- Separation of Content: All sponsored content is clearly labeled using terms such as “Sponsored,” “Promoted,” or “Advertisement” to ensure full transparency to our readers.
- Editorial Integrity: The CleanTech Times editorial team maintains complete independence in all editorial decisions. Sponsored content does not influence the creation or tone of our independent journalism.
Creation of Sponsored Content
Cleantechtimes do accept sponsorships from the Sustainable Transportation Companies, Solar Panel Manufacturers and the win power experts. However there are special initiatives created for these content styles.
- Collaboration: Sponsored content may be created jointly with sponsors or developed independently by CleanTech Times in alignment with the sponsor’s messaging goals.
- Standards: All sponsored content must meet the quality, tone, and subject relevance standards of CleanTech Times. It must be fact-based, informative, and relevant to the clean energy, sustainability, ESG, or environmental innovation sectors.
- Disclosure: Every piece of sponsored content will include a clear and prominent disclosure at the beginning of the article or feature, stating that it is sponsored.
Review and Approval
- Content Review: Sponsored content undergoes internal review by our editorial or branded content team to ensure it meets CleanTech Times’ standards and provides value to readers.
- Accuracy: All factual claims within sponsored content must be accurate, well-sourced, and non-misleading.
Sponsored Content Guidelines
- Relevance: Content must align with the clean technology and sustainability mission of CleanTech Times and be of genuine interest to our audience.
- Transparency: The nature of the relationship between CleanTech Times and the sponsor will always be made clear to the reader.
- Compliance: All sponsored content must comply with applicable laws and advertising regulations, including those related to data privacy, green claims, and responsible advertising.
User Experience
- User Trust: We place high importance on maintaining reader trust. Sponsored content must be engaging and clearly marked, and should never mislead or deceive readers.
- Ad Placement: Sponsored content will be placed in designated, clearly labeled sections of the website and distinguished visually and contextually from editorial content.
