Scope 3 insetting

Reduce emissions inside the supply chain that creates them.

We design and operate land-sector, logistics and supplier programmes that deliver measurable reductions and removals within a company's own value chain.

The common logic

Hotspot, intervention, chain of custody, reporting.

Insetting is not one methodology. It is a way to finance reductions or removals within a defined value chain, supported by evidence that links the intervention and its climate outcome to the reporting company.

Find the hotspot

Map Scope 3 by category, geography, supplier and commodity.

Build the intervention

Select the activity and quantification framework that fit the hotspot.

Protect the chain of custody

Establish identity-preserved or controlled attribute accounting that links the outcome to the relevant value chain and guards against double claiming.

Report the outcome

Provide the buyer with the quantified outcome, chain-of-custody evidence and documentation needed for reporting and assurance.

01 | Nature-based supply chains

Where the commodity is grown, that is where the climate outcome lives.

For cocoa, coffee, dairy, soy and other agricultural value chains, we develop plot-level programmes across agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, reforestation, grazing management and biochar.

02 | Operational and logistics

Decarbonise the route, facility, fuel or power source.

For transport and supplier operations, we structure measurable switches to electric fleets, lower-carbon fuels, renewable power and efficient equipment.

Primary freight and energy data
Per-lane or asset-level attribution
Book-and-claim where physical identity is impractical
Unique issuance, transfer and retirement

Chain of custody

Two models. One outcome, one claim.

Identity preserved

Plot, supplier or asset remains identifiable.

The physical commodity or service and its environmental outcome remain connected through geo-referenced units, supplier records and controlled allocation. This is our preferred route where physical traceability is operationally possible.

Book and claim

The attribute moves separately from the physical flow.

Where shared networks make physical tracing impractical, a verified environmental attribute can be issued, transferred and retired to one buyer. The underlying activity, quantification and ownership of the claim remain documented, with the attribute uniquely tracked to prevent double claiming.

Who this is for

Brands and suppliers share the same emissions outcome.

Buyers need credible upstream reductions. Producers need evidence that protects market access and makes lower-carbon production commercially valuable.
