Granular Emission Analysis

A carbon footprint is only useful if you can understand it. Our emissions dashboard gives you a complete, structured view of your data, from high-level scope summaries down to the individual categories and sites driving your footprint, so you always know where your emissions are coming from and where to focus.
HOW IT WORKS

Deep-dive on your key emission sources

Your dashboard opens with a clear overview of your emissions by scope, then lets you go deeper. At every level you can see emissions split across Scope 1, 2 and 3 and GHG Protocol categories, as well as deep-dive breakdowns covering 1000s of granular emission sources.

Hotspot analysis

Hotspot analysis to focus your reduction efforts

Knowing your total footprint is one thing. Knowing which categories are driving it is what makes reduction planning effective. The dashboard surfaces your emissions hotspots automatically, so you can see:

  • Which categories account for the largest share of your footprint across each scope
  • Where emissions are growing fastest, flagging areas that need attention before they become harder to address
  • How individual hotspots compare to sector benchmarks, giving context to your numbers
  • Which areas offer the greatest reduction opportunity relative to cost and effort

This cuts through the noise. Rather than treating every emission source equally, your team can direct time, budget and supplier engagement towards the areas that will move the needle most.

Intensity metrics

Intensity-based analysis to track emissions as your business grows

Absolute emissions tell one part of the story. Intensity metrics tell you how efficiently your business is operating relative to its size. The dashboard lets you analyse emissions against:

  • Revenue, tracking tCO2e per £/$1m turnover to monitor carbon efficiency as you scale
  • Headcount, useful for service businesses where people are the primary driver of activity
  • Other business metrics relevant to your sector or reporting framework
  • Year-on-year intensity trends, so growth and emissions reduction can be tracked together

This is particularly valuable for businesses with stakeholders who want to see emissions performance in the context of business growth.

"Seedling helped us understand our carbon footprint in a clearer and more structured way. With their guidance, we were able to identify areas we could improve, especially around imported ingredients and daily operations. Their guidance on next steps was practical and realistic, especially in areas like energy use and waste management, which are important parts of our daily operations."

“As a start-up, I found it really hard to find a carbon accounting solution to suit. Along came Seedling. From the start, I was impressed by their approach and knowledge, and the intuitiveness and agility of the Seedling platform. They’re always happy to respond to my endless questions and work to find a solution, for example helping quantify the carbon impact of our payments product.”

"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."

"I have found Seedling to be a relatively easy and hassle-free method of carbon tracking. Their web app combines sleek design with AI features, making carbon reporting easy. My favourite feature so far is the AI that matches categories to the expenditure entered. This saves lots of time and is really accurate. The team (Henry) has also been really helpful, providing individualised support where needed."

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is a carbon emissions dashboard and what should it show?

A carbon emissions dashboard is a centralised view of a business's greenhouse gas data, typically covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions broken down by category, source and time period. A useful dashboard goes beyond totals, showing where emissions are concentrated, how they are changing over time and how they compare across sites or business units. Ours updates automatically as new data is added, so the view is always current.

What is the difference between Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Scope 1 covers direct emissions from sources your business owns or controls, such as company vehicles and on-site combustion. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat or steam. Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions across your value chain, including business travel, supply chain, waste and product use. For most businesses, Scope 3 represents the largest share of their footprint and the most complex to measure and reduce.

How do carbon intensity metrics work and why do they matter?

Carbon intensity metrics express emissions relative to a measure of business output, such as revenue or headcount, rather than as an absolute total. This allows businesses to track whether they are becoming more carbon efficient over time, even as they grow. Intensity metrics are also a requirement under certain SBTi methodologies and are increasingly requested by investors and ESG rating agencies assessing decarbonisation progress.

How can I identify the biggest sources of emissions in my business?

Start with a full Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint broken down by category. In most businesses, a small number of categories, often energy, freight, business travel or purchased goods, account for the majority of emissions. Our dashboard flags these hotspots automatically, so you can focus reduction efforts where they will have the greatest impact rather than spreading attention evenly across every emission source.
