Designing for decarbonisation
With estimates of the carbon footprint of fashion at 4-8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, building sustainability into the way we design, make, move, and use fashion and textiles is essential to the fight against climate change.
And as consumer expectations shift, there's a growing commercial opportunity (as well as a moral imperative) for brands to decarbonise.
The first step to reducing emissions is understanding your brand's carbon impact - measuring a GHG Protocol compliant, full scope footprint that fully captures the garment lifecycle, from material production to customer use and disposal, as well as your brand's operations.
With detailed footprint data, you and your team can make changes to decarbonise by prioritising emissions hotspots, whether that's how you ship product, the materials you choose, ramping up consumer education, or more fundamental business model shifts.
How we help
Seedling's carbon accounting software helps brands to accurately measure emissions across their operations and the full lifecycle of their products. We've teamed up with industry partners—such as The British Fashion Council—to build software plus support that empowers SME brands to decarbonise, without being too time intensive or breaking the bank.
Working with your Seedling adviser, it's straightforward to collect the business data you need. We translate your data into a carbon impact, and help you build a clear plan to decarbonise backed by data. Tap into our network of approved partners, such as Fashion Declares, for support on circularity and regenerative fashion.

FAQs
Your questions answered.
What are the main sources of emissions for a fashion or apparel brand?
Most emissions come from Scope 3, especially in the supply chain, such as raw materials, manufacturing, transport, and packaging. Scope 1 and 2 emissions (like fuel use and electricity in offices or stores) are usually much smaller by comparison.
How can we measure emissions from our supply chain partners?
Seedling makes it easy to gather activity-based data from suppliers, for example, how many garments were made, how they were transported, and what materials were used. This gives you a more accurate footprint than spend-based estimates and helps you identify high-impact areas to improve.
Why is carbon reporting important for fashion brands?
Sustainability is now a key factor for customers, retailers, and investors. Accurate carbon reporting supports B Corp assessments, strengthens your ESG story, and helps you meet growing regulatory and retailer requirements, especially around Scope 3 supply chain transparency.
