As the urgency of climate change intensifies, companies across various sectors are seeking effective ways to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions. Three primary strategies emerge in this context: carbon offsetting, carbon insertion, and Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM). While all aim to reduce environmental impact, each possesses distinct characteristics and approaches.
Carbon Offsetting vs. Carbon Insertion
Carbon offsetting involves the neutralization of emissions through the funding of external projects that reduce or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. These projects may include reforestation, renewable energy, or conservation initiatives. For instance, a company may invest in a reforestation project in another region to offset the emissions generated by its operations.
In contrast to offsetting, carbon insertion focuses on the reduction of emissions within the company’s own value chain. This involves partnerships with suppliers and other stakeholders to implement sustainable practices that reduce emissions throughout the supply chain. For example, a company may collaborate with its suppliers to adopt regenerative agricultural techniques, thereby reducing the emissions associated with raw material production.
Beyond Value Chain Mitigation (BVCM)
Beyond Value Chain Mitigation refers to voluntary actions that a company undertakes outside of its direct value chain, contributing to global emissions reduction goals. These initiatives are not intended to offset the company’s own emissions but rather to generate broader, positive climate impact. For instance, a technology company may invest in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, without accounting for these actions as offsets for its own emissions.
