Insetting, otherwise known as carbon insetting, is when a company refers to offsetting their emissions with a carbon offset project that comes from their own value chain. In comparison to a usual carbon offset project where the project helps to reduce or mitigate emissions externally, carbon insetting allows a company to reduce emissions within their own value chain.

Si [l'entreprise américaine] parvenait à montrer la flexibilité liée à la compensation interne du carbone, elle pourrait légitimer ce type d'instrument de marché spécifique au détriment d'instruments (de marché ou des normes) plus contraignants.
