John White, Co-founder Emtec, will talk about Carbon Credits – From Offsetting to Insetting: Net Zero opportunities for Community benefit
Insetting is a direct extension from Offsetting. While Offsetting refers to the purchase of carbon credits from a carbon reduction project that is unrelated to the company in question, the definition of Insetting necessitates that the location of the carbon offset project is within the company’s own supply chain, and supply chain communities. John’s talk will explore the potential benefits for local communities and businesses.
