The International Platform for Insetting (IPI) is a business-led organisation which advocates for climate action at the source of global value chains.
Our members are generating multiple positive impacts for the ecosystems their businesses depend on, creating resilient and regenerative business models. We believe insetting is a way that companies can tackle both the climate and nature crises at once.
Step-by-step insetting guide for corporate action on climate change and nature loss
Insetting has tremendous potential to tackle some of the most crucial challenges around supply chain sustainability including climate change, biodiversity loss and farmer livelihoods. The IPI’s Practical Guide to Insetting consolidates insights and up to a decade’s worth of experience from our members including Accor, Chanel, H&M Group, Kering and Nespresso. Read more >>

" While considering zero net environmental impact of our activities, insetting is the most efficient approach to cooperate with our suppliers towards impacts optimization in our value chain. As a food and beverage operator, Accor is supporting a greener agriculture through agroforestry.
By planting trees on farmed land, we can improve yields and crops quality while preserving soils, water resources and biodiversity, as well as providing additional resources to the farmers. With Plant For the Planet program, we have already planted over 7 million trees worldwide on 400+ sites with about 10 000 direct beneficiaries. ”

The latest science makes it clear that reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is both possible and necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement’s 1.5ºC goal.
Many businesses are demonstrating leadership by setting ambitious targets to achieve this goal.
However, we are currently losing nature at an unprecedented rate.
This undermines human health and well-being, societal resilience, and progress towards the SDGs, as well as putting our entire global economy at risk.
Forward-thinking companies understand the importance of an integrated response to the climate crisis, nature loss and sustainable development, and are already investing in healthy ecosystems within and beyond their operations.
Insetting is an opportunity for businesses to link greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and carbon sequestration to their sourcing landscapes. This creates meaningful climate action that develops a sustainable land use model by protecting and valuing nature, and results in benefits for people and local communities throughout a company’s value chain.
