Episode 13: Net Zero Fundamentals, Part 2 - Carbon farming, carbon offsetting and insetting

Driving Net Profit with Zero Emissions

This is part 2 of a special podcast recording based on a webinar that Barbara Albert, our Co-CEO, ran under the Entrepreneur’s Program to explain the fundamentals of Net Zero to Australian small and medium-sized businesses.
In the first part of the recording, Barbara introduced carbon accounting, carbon scopes, calculating your carbon footprint and developing decarbonisation and net zero pathways. In part 2 of this special recording, Barbara introduces important concepts, such as carbon offsetting, carbon farming, and insetting, which are ingredients for a Net Zero or carbon neutral strategy.
The Net Zero fundamentals podcast is sponsored by AusIndustry, a Commonwealth Government program that helps eligible businesses strengthen, grow and innovate, and develop and commercialise new ideas and products – locally, nationally and globally. The program also helps companies achieve Net Zero via support from consultancies such as 100% Renewables.
