A net zero commitment without a structured plan behind it is hard to defend. Our expert-led net zero roadmap takes your verified emissions data and turns it into a credible, expert-backed document covering where you are, where you are heading and the specific initiatives that will get you there.

HOW IT WORKS

A roadmap built from your actual emissions data

Your net zero roadmap starts with your footprint, not a generic template. Once your emissions are measured and verified, the platform structures your roadmap around what your data shows: your emissions data, your Net Zero target, and your emission reduction initiatives.

Realistic Reduction Plan

Reduction initiatives costed and mapped to your footprint

The heart of the roadmap is a prioritised set of reduction initiatives selected specifically for your emissions profile. Each one includes:

Estimated tCO2e saving, so you can see the contribution each initiative makes towards your target
Cost and feasibility assessment, giving leadership what they need to make informed investment decisions
Scope and category mapping, so it is clear which part of your footprint each initiative addresses
Implementation complexity and indicative timelines, helping you phase activity realistically

This gives you something concrete to act on, not a list of generic recommendations that could apply to any business.

Expert Led

Expert-backed and ready to share

A net zero roadmap carries more weight when it has been reviewed by someone who knows the subject. Your carbon expert works with you to:

Sense-check the ambition and feasibility of your reduction plan as a whole
Make sure your target and trajectory meet the standards expected by investors, procurement teams and reporting frameworks
Fill in any gaps where additional initiatives or data would strengthen the plan
Prepare the roadmap for external use, whether that is a board presentation, a tender submission or a public disclosure

Once complete, your roadmap is published via your Impact page and shareable with any stakeholder in a single click.

What our clients say

Don't just take our word for it...

"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."

"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."

"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 should a net zero roadmap include?

A credible net zero roadmap should set out your current emissions baseline, your target date and trajectory, and the specific reduction initiatives you are committing to, with estimated savings and timelines. It should cover all material scopes, be grounded in verified data and be realistic about what is achievable in each phase. Vague commitments without supporting detail are increasingly challenged by investors, auditors and procurement teams.

How do I set a realistic net zero target for my business?

Start with a verified emissions baseline, then work out the reduction trajectory required to reach net zero by your target date. The gap between your current trajectory and what is needed tells you how much work the roadmap has to do. Our platform calculates this automatically, and your carbon expert helps you test whether your planned initiatives are sufficient and whether the timeline is defensible given your operational context.

What is the difference between a net zero roadmap and a Carbon Reduction Plan?

A Carbon Reduction Plan is a specific document required under PPN 006 for UK public sector procurement. A net zero roadmap is broader, covering your full decarbonisation strategy including targets, initiatives, timelines and progress tracking. The two overlap significantly, and in most cases your roadmap will contain everything needed to produce a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan as well.

How do I demonstrate net zero progress to investors and stakeholders?

The most credible approach is a verified, structured roadmap that shows your baseline, your target, your planned initiatives and your progress against them over time. Investors and ESG-focused stakeholders are increasingly looking for specificity, costed initiatives, interim milestones and third-party validation rather than headline commitments alone. Your roadmap, backed by your carbon expert and published via your Impact page, gives you exactly that.
