ISO consultants already collect environmental data — but clients need carbon insights too
ISO 14001 consultants gather detailed information on energy use, waste, water, and operational impacts as part of environmental management systems.
At the same time, organisations are facing growing pressure to measure and report their carbon footprint - from customers, regulators, tenders, and internal stakeholders.
Clients often assume their ISO advisor can help, but traditional EMS work does not produce a complete, standards-aligned carbon footprint. This creates a gap between what clients expect and what consultants can efficiently deliver.
Carbon accounting is complex to deliver as a service
Building a robust carbon offering from scratch requires specialised methodology, software, emission factors, reporting frameworks, and ongoing updates.
For most ISO consultancies, this means:
- - Significant time investment to develop expertise
- - High costs to build or license tools
- - Risk of inconsistent calculations across projects
As a result, many consultants either turn down carbon-related requests or deliver ad-hoc assessments that are difficult to standardise and repeat.

FAQs
Your questions answered
Do we need specialist carbon expertise to use Seedling?
No. The platform guides data entry and calculations, allowing environmental consultants to deliver credible results without becoming carbon accounting specialists.
Can we use data already collected for ISO 14001?
Yes. Much of the required information - energy, fuels, waste, water, travel, and operational data - aligns closely with what ISO consultants already gather.
Do clients interact with the platform, or do we manage it for them?
Either approach works. Consultants can input data on behalf of clients, collaborate with them, or provide access for self-service completion depending on your delivery model.
Is this suitable for organisations without dedicated sustainability teams?
Yes. Seedling is designed for small and mid-sized organisations, making it ideal for the types of clients typically supported by ISO consultancies.
How is Seedling different from surveys or simple carbon calculators?
Surveys typically collect inconsistent or incomplete information, while basic calculators rely on rough estimates that lack credibility. Seedling provides a full measurement experience - combining guidance, methodology, and automated calculations - so you get robust primary data at scale without deploying complex enterprise tools to every portfolio company.
