Turn your supply chain into a source of climate action

Some of the biggest opportunities to reduce Scope 3 emissions sit within your own value chain.

We help you identify, assess and support credible climate projects connected to your suppliers, commodities and sourcing regions - from sourcing credits from existing projects and developing new ones - to helping your suppliers reduce their own emissions.

Our experts can bring these opportunities together into a coordinated program, helping you strengthen supplier relationships, reduce emissions and deliver measurable climate impact across your value chain.

Source what already exists

In some supply chains, credible projects are already operating. We can identify high-quality projects connected to your sourcing regions, commodities or supplier base, assess their quality and help secure access to the reductions or credits they generate. This can provide a faster route to action where strong projects already exist within your value chain.

Develop what comes next

Where the right project does not yet exist, we can help create it. Our project development teams can assess feasibility, identify suitable methodologies and partners, design the intervention and support implementation and monitoring over time.

Help your suppliers take climate action

Reducing Scope 3 emissions often means helping your suppliers reduce their own Scope 1 and 2 emissions. We can create a turnkey climate action program for your supplier network, bringing together a tailored portfolio of high-quality carbon projects that meet your requirements and support your suppliers' climate goals. From renewable energy solutions to carbon credits and project development, we help you build a coordinated approach that supports supplier engagement, delivers wider climate impact and creates a shared story of action across your value chain.

From opportunity to delivery

We turn your climate goals into a practical portfolio strategy - then help you manage and evolve it over time.

Identify

Map priority emissions, suppliers, commodities and regions.

Assess

Understand where credible interventions and carbon methodologies can work.

Engage

Work with your suppliers to understand their needs, build participation and identify opportunities for coordinated climate action across your network.

Develop or source

Access existing projects or create new ones with local partners.

Measure and manage

Quantify outcomes, monitor performance and support credible reporting over time.

Start with where your emissions and opportunities sit

Effective insetting starts with understanding your value chain.

We work with you to identify priority geographies, commodities, suppliers and emissions sources, then assess where carbon finance can support credible interventions.

The right approach depends on your footprint, your suppliers, the local context and the outcomes you want to achieve.

The same project standards apply inside your supply chain

Being linked to your value chain does not automatically make a project high quality.

We apply the same rigorous project-level due diligence, on-the-ground insight and ongoing monitoring that underpin our wider carbon portfolio.

Our project development experience also gives us a practical understanding of what makes projects work, where risks can emerge and how impact can be strengthened over time.

Our approach

Strengthen your supply chain while cutting carbon emissions

Supply chain insetting can do more than reduce emissions. Done well, it can strengthen the parts of your value chain your business depends on.

Reduce hard-to-abate Scope 3 emissions

Direct climate action towards emissions sources that sit deep within your supply chain and can be difficult to address through operational changes alone.

Strengthen supply chain resilience

Support interventions that can improve soil health, water security, productivity or ecosystem resilience in sourcing regions.

Accelerate supplier decarbonization

Help suppliers take action on their own emissions through access to renewable energy solutions, high-quality carbon projects and coordinated climate programs - supporting progress across your wider value chain.

Build stronger supplier and community relationships

Create shared climate action programs that bring your business, suppliers and local communities together around common goals, building stronger relationships and long-term value.

Support nature and livelihoods

Well-designed projects can deliver benefits for biodiversity, local communities and local economies - alongside carbon outcomes.

Create a clearer line of sight to impact

By acting within your own value chain, you can connect climate finance more directly to the places, people and commodities linked to your business.

Build for the long term

Supply chain transformation takes time. We help companies think beyond a one-off project or credit purchase and build longer-term programs around priority suppliers, regions or commodities. That can mean supporting an existing project today, developing new projects for future supply, or combining both approaches as your strategy evolves.

Connect insetting to your wider carbon strategy

Insetting can form one part of a broader carbon credit portfolio. We can help you combine supply chain projects with a wider mix of high-quality credits to manage risk, meet different claims requirements and deliver impact across a range of project types.
