Addressing Additionality in Inset Programs

As food companies scale their decarbonization programs, they have increasingly confronted the need to address the additionality principles of their value-chain inset programs. As discussed in our previous paper, Additionality Considerations for Food Companies, while offset programs have defined industry standards for assessing additionality in carbon projects, current guidance for inset programs provide meaningful flexibility for corporations to determine their own additionality requirements. Still, it is critical that food companies address additionality in their inset programs to inspire confidence that their decarbonization claims are credible.
