"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."

"We needed to report carbon data and a decarbonisation plan to our client, Microsoft. We needed the output to be high quality and credible, but didn’t have loads of time to dedicate to measuring emissions. Seedling’s software plus support model meant the process wasn’t too time intensive for us as a busy team. The fact that our calculations were checked by Seedling us confidence in the output."

The team (Henry) has also been really helpful, providing individualised support where needed."

"We were keen to measure our emissions but didn’t know where to start. As an SME with little carbon accounting experience – and a manufacturer needing to capture trickier areas like material inputs – Seedling’s platform and 1:1 support were invaluable. The Seedling team made a potentially complicated process straightforward for us. We’re now clear on our key hotspots and have a credible reduction plan we’re proud to share."

FAQs

Your questions answered

How does Seedling calculate product-level emissions?

Following guidance from the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067 standards, we first define the product to be measured (e.g. 1 finished unit of product X) and the boundaries (or scope) of the assessment - usually cradle-to-grave. We'll then analyse the input/output flows of the product (things like ingredients or materials on the input side, and waste on the output side). You'll then input data relating to those processes, and we'll calculate emissions on that basis.

Are Product Carbon Footprints mandatory?

It depends on the sector and your geography. The EU is rolling out regulation on Digital Product Passports which mandate product-level impact assessments for some products. However, other businesses may not be directly affected, but still required to submit product-level data as part of tenders or client requests.

How does the product impact page work?

Once you've measured your product-level emissions, you can easily share the results using your product impact page - an online dashboard showing a full breakdown of the product's emissions and key hotspots. Simply share a link, or add a QR code to labeling or packaging.

What is the GHG Protocol and ISO 14067?

Both are standards that specify how product-level emissions should be calculated, with some differences.

The GHG Protocol is a framework/guideline (flexible, widely adopted, covers organizations, value chains, and products).

ISO 14067 is a formal standard (more prescriptive, mainly for product-level footprints, often used for certification/verification).

How long does it take to measure product-level emissions?

Using our Product Footprint module, you can calculate product-level emissions as soon as you have the data ready to input.
