Unlike carbon offsets, which involve emission reductions outside a company’s operations, insetting delivers reductions within a company’s value chain, enabling both Scope 1 and Scope 3 progress.You’ll hear how insetting fits into existing GHG accounting frameworks, why market-based accounting is gaining traction, and how buyers and sellers are structuring deals today—from bundled agreements to complex multilateral transactions. With rising consumer willingness to pay and emerging buyer alliances, insetting is positioned to become a core pillar of corporate climate strategies—if companies can navigate risk, tracking, and stakeholder scrutiny effectively. Top 5 Takeaways from the EpisodeInsetting = Value Chain DecarbonizationFind out how insetting directs investment to emissions reductions within a company’s own supply chain. Create aligned incentives and quantifiable Scope 3 benefits (unlike offsets).Accounting and Claims Require RigorGHG Protocol allows for double counting by design (e.g. supplier Scope 1 = buyer Scope 3), but firms must avoid double claiming. Listen in to ensure that emissions reductions are traceable, additional, and not sold twice!Markets Are Emerging but Still ImmatureMost current insetting deals are bespoke or bilateral. Find out how buyer alliances (e.g., SABA for aviation fuel, Clean Energy Buyers Alliance for electricity, and others forming for steel, cement, plastics) are lowering transaction costs and setting informal norms.Registries and Standards Are Still Catching UpFind out what needs to happen next – from standardizing insetting certificates to infrastructure.
