The Differences Between Carbon Insetting and Carbon Offsetting
There are 2 types of decarbonization – carbon insetting and carbon offsetting.
Carbon offsetting is a scheme that companies implement to compensate for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that have already occurred; whereas carbon insetting refers to activities that companies undertake to decarbonize their own supply chain operations.
Insetting is recognized as a carbon reduction measure by the Science Based Target initiative.
It enables you to contribute towards achieving the global carbon reduction goal by directly reducing emissions associated with your business' operations throughout the supply chain. This approach is more effective than relying solely on carbon offsetting, as offsetting alone does not effectively address the root cause, and its uptake.
