Sustainability leadership with insetting

Insetting means investing in carbon reduction projects within your own supply chain. Unlike traditional offsetting which funds external projects, insetting enables businesses to drive real change where it matters most—in their own operations and supplier networks—strengthening sustainability commitments while ensuring compliance with leading frameworks.

SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS

Three ways insetting improves collaboration

Increase co-financing from buyers seeking Scope 3 compliance (6)

Shared responsibility = shared results

Downstream companies co-finance sustainability solutions instead of shifting the burden onto suppliers. Insetting ensures that everyone along the value chain benefits from emissions reductions.

Stronger supply chains, lower risks

Climate risks, regulations, and shifting markets make collaboration essential. Insetting ensures long-term security, building trust and financial stability for both suppliers and buyers.

Scope 3 solutions with verified impact

Insetting delivers transparent, traceable, verified impact. Certified emissions reductions help companies prove progress toward net-zero.

BENEFITS

Dutch agricultural cooperative: Scaling low-carbon agriculture

 

The problem

Reducing emissions in farming isn’t just about sustainability—it needs to make financial sense. Traditional fertilizers release emissions, impacting both the climate and soil health. A leading Dutch agricultural cooperative saw an opportunity to change that.

The solution

By using nitrogen stabilizers and low-carbon fertilizers, the cooperative is cutting emissions while improving yields. With food companies co-financing these practices, farmers can adopt them without financial risk.

The impact

Emissions are reduced with approximately 2tCO₂e per year per hectare. The abatement costs are €30-€100 per tCO₂e. Downstream food processors co-finance the interventions in return for a verified Scope 3 reduction claim. Sustainability now pays off for everyone.

The bigger picture

This shift goes beyond farming. Input providers are investing in smarter fertilizers and low carbon fertilizer production capacity (green ammonia), enabling a more sustainable agri-food industry across the entire supply chain.

Is insetting right for your business?

How do I know my reduction are verified?

We only issue inset units if we are 100% sure the climate impact is real. You can read more on our inset units page.

What's the ROI of co-financing sustainability?

Shared investment lowers transition costs, enhances efficiency (e.g., better soil health = higher yields), and opens access to green financing & premiums.

How does the fit into existing Scope 3 accounting frameworks?
Insetting aligns with Scope 3 accounting by delivering verified emissions reductions within your supply chain, following GHG Protocol and SBTi guidelines. The reductions are traceable, auditable, and can be claimed as part of your Scope 3 decarbonization strategy.
