"It's so nice to speak with someone who clearly knows what they’re talking about when it comes to footprinting. I’m so much happier working with a company like that, than a faceless SaaS product that offers no relationship."

"As a recently certified B Corp, finding a way to measure and reduce our carbon emissions as a business was a massive priority but we weren't really sure where to start. Seedling have been fantastic from the start at guiding us through the process, taking the time to explain and helping us improve our own knowledge, and their software has made everything a breeze! With an incredibly quick turn-around time, we have now received our insights and are looking forward to implementing the actions and targets that the team help us set in order to reduce our emissions and sharing that with our community through the integrated engagement functionality. I highly recommend Seedling and their great team, it was a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to doing so again."

"Seedling has enabled us to play around with our strategy and understand the impact of any changes we make. For instance, if we want to switch 60% of cotton to recycled, we can quantify the impact that this will have. This is so helpful because once we've set targets, the key challenge is understanding how we get there."

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is carbon accounting software?

Carbon accounting software helps businesses track, measure, and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It automates data collection, calculates emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and provides tools for compliance and sustainability planning.

How do you do carbon accounting?

Carbon accounting involves gathering data on energy use, transportation, waste, and supply chain activities. Using emission factors, you calculate GHG emissions in CO₂-equivalents, typically broken down into direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2), and value chain (Scope 3) emissions.

Is carbon accounting mandatory in the UK?

Carbon accounting is mandatory for large UK companies under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework. Businesses meeting size thresholds must report their emissions and energy use in annual filings.

How do I choose a carbon accounting software?

Look for software that aligns with your industry, integrates with your data sources, and supports recognised reporting standards (e.g., GHG Protocol). User-friendly interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also key considerations. Seedling for example is great for SMEs looking to calculate their carbon footprint.
