THE PROBLEM

Sustainability isn't a solo sport

YOU WIN

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.

Three ways insetting betters collaboration

Benefits for your business

Proba Reduce Scope 3 emissions

Scope 3 emission reductions

Insetting helps businesses reduce Scope 3 emissions, directly aligning with SBTi commitments and GHG Protocol accounting guidelines. By implementing sustainable practices within your supply chain, you make measurable progress toward net-zero goals.

Proba Verified claims & reporting

Verified claims & reporting 

Every insetting project is backed by third-party verification, ensuring credibility and transparency in sustainability claims. This guarantees that your sustainability efforts are recognized, reportable, and compliant with leading standards.

Proba Cost-effective impact

Cost-effective impact

Companies implementing insetting projects have reduced their Scope 3 emissions by up to 30% while strengthening supplier relationships and often reducing operational costs over time.

The challenge

A company needed to cut emissions but struggled with Scope 3—reductions beyond their direct operations. With growing sustainability requirements, they needed a real, verifiable solution.

The approach

Instead of relying on offsets, they worked within their supply chain. By helping suppliers adopt low-emission practices, they ensured reductions were measurable, credible, and aligned with SBTi and GHG Protocol.

The impact

Insetting led to direct, verified emission cuts in their supply chain. Their sustainability claims became stronger, reporting more credible, and partnerships more effective. Beyond compliance, they built a more resilient, future-proof business.

BENEFITS

Why insetting matters

Unlike traditional offsetting, insetting keeps the impact within your own value chain, making your sustainability efforts tangible and directly beneficial to your business operations. It enables:
  • More credible sustainability claims
  • Stronger alignment with SBTi-compliant reduction targets
  • Meaningful engagement with supply chain partners
  • Reduced supply chain risks and improved resilience

Is insetting right for your business?

What is an inset unit?

An inset unit represents a verified reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions achieved directly within your own supply chain. Unlike offset credits, inset units come from sustainability initiatives undertaken within your value chain, ensuring direct, measurable impacts on your operations and supplier networks.

How are inset units verified?

Inset units are verified through rigorous third-party verification processes aligned with internationally recognized standards. This independent verification ensures transparency, credibility, and compliance, providing confidence in the accuracy and integrity of your sustainability claims.

Are inset units compliant with Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reporting?

Yes, inset units directly align with Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements and the GHG Protocol. By using inset units, businesses can credibly report Scope 3 emission reductions, supporting their commitments to net-zero targets and ensuring compliance with leading sustainability frameworks.
