WHAT WE DO
ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting Program
ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting Program
Our ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting program is the first certification designed to recognize measurable emissions reductions within a company’s own value chain at the product level. By combining product carbon footprint data with verified insets – emissions reductions achieved within a company’s supply chain – this certification provides trusted, third-party recognition of real climate progress. It gives brands a clear and credible way to communicate Scope 3 emissions reductions while helping consumers easily identify products that support decarbonization.

How it Works
The ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting program verifies measurable emissions reductions at the product level through a transparent and rigorous process.
1. Identify products and measure their footprint: Companies select the products they want to certify and submit product carbon footprint data, such as a cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
2. Document value chain emissions reductions: Companies share information about emissions reductions already achieved or underway within their value chain, known as insets.
3. Independent verification by ClimeCo: ClimeCo reviews and verifies the submitted data and facilitates procurement of additional insets to meet the requirements of the ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting Protocol.
4. Achieve product-level certification: Once verified, products are certified, registered, and authorized to display the ClimeCo Certified™ Product Insetting badge, allowing brands to communicate their verified climate impact to consumers.

How Insetting & Product Certification Support Climate Goals
What is Insetting?
Insetting is a powerful decarbonization financing tool that focuses on investing in sustainability projects within a company’s own supply chain and business ecosystem. Unlike traditional carbon offsetting, insetting allows companies to directly reduce their carbon footprint by implementing projects that affect their products or supply chain components.
What is the Value of Sustainable Product Certification?
Sustainable product certification helps companies communicate their climate impact – and helps consumers make informed, climate-conscious choices. Whether you’re a business trying to stand out in a crowded market or a consumer trying to shop with intention, this video shows how certification builds the bridge between action and trust.
