WHAT IS INSETTING?

Decarbonizing your supply chain from within

THE CHALLENGE

High costs, slow action

  • Downstream companies (retailers, food brands) need Scope 3 reductions but don’t directly control on-farm or production emissions.
  • Upstream companies (fertilizer producers, farmers) have solutions but often lack the financial resources to implement them at scale.
Without financing, promising low-carbon technologies remain underutilized, slowing the shift to sustainable supply chains.

Insetting ensures that sustainability isn’t an isolated effort—co-financing turns climate action into a shared opportunity.

SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS

How co-financing works with insetting

Proba cost-sharing

Cost-sharing for faster adoption

  • Downstream companies help fund climate-smart practices, easing the financial burden on farmers and other actors in the value chain.
  • This speeds up adoption, making solutions viable now.
Proba financial incentives

Win-win financial incentives

  • Farmers and other upstream actors: Access low carbon technologies without the financial risk.
  • Agri-buyers and food brands: Get verified Scope 3 reductions which they can report to their SBTi commitments and get a more resilient supply chain.
Proba beyond carbon: market advantage

Beyond carbon: economic & market advantage

  • Co-investment boosts productivity, soil health, and supply chain resilience.
  •  Companies gain priority access to low-carbon commodities and enhance regulatory and market positioning.

CASE STUDY

How co-financing scales low-carbon agriculture

A major food company partnered with a fertilizer producer and an agricultural cooperative to co-finance the adoption of nitrogen stabilizers and the switch to low-carbon fertilizers. Instead of shifting costs onto farmers, the companies contributed funding, allowing rapid adoption.

Impact:
✔ Each hectare reduces up to 2 tonnes CO₂e per year.
✔ Cost per tonne of CO2e: €50-€100, well within the range of other abatement alternatives.
✔ Farmers improve soil health and yields, making sustainability profitable.

Supply chain impact Stronger supplier-buyer relationships No direct supply chain engagement
Scope 3 benefits Verified reductions within supply chain No impact on internal emissions
Long-term value Resilience & compliance One-time carbon credit purchase

Is insetting right for your business?

Who can participate in co-financing?

Any partner in your supply chain, such as food brands, retailers, commodity traders, and fertilizer producers, can co-finance sustainable practices to reduce emissions.

What are the benefits of insetting for my company?

You get verified Scope 3 emissions reductions, a more resilient supply chain, and access to low-carbon commodities. All at a lower cost than traditional offsets.

How does co-financing compare to traditional sustainability investments?

Co-financing lowers the financial burden by distributing costs across supply chain partners, making sustainability investments more scalable and cost-effective. Unlike traditional corporate-funded sustainability projects, insetting ensures mutual benefits—farmers adopt low-carbon solutions without financial risk, while downstream companies gain verified Scope 3 reductions at a lower cost than offsets.
