Organisational Carbon Insetting

Carbon insetting refers to a relatively new approach to negating GHG emissions, wherein an organisation chooses to launch an initiative that cuts the emissions of greenhouse gases within its own value chain or sphere of business influence.

As with offsetting, the project must result in real, permanent, verifiable reductions in greenhouse gases. Proof must be provided in the form of a project design document and activity reports must validated by an independent third party. Reductions are retired on an independent registry against emissions of the assessed entity.
