Measure your carbon footprint with Seedling and get your emissions verified under ISO 14064 through our range of trusted verification partners.

Get verified under ISO 14064

But for many teams, it's difficult to know where to start. How do you start to measure a footprint in line with the ISO requirements? Who should do the verification of this work?

Seedling offers an end-to-end solution for both stages:

Measure your emissions easily using Seedling's carbon footprinting software platform.
Verify emissions using our panel of trusted, UKAS-accredited verifiers who are familiar with Seedling and our processes (saving you time).

"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."

"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."

“It’s been incredibly reassuring using Seedling to help us measure, report, and feel confident in the process. We’re now able to provide full Scope 3 reporting, supporting our continued ability to serve NHS hospitals in line with evolving requirements.

"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."

"We spoke to a few emission tracking partners before we spoke with Seedling, and Seedling's offer seemed too good to be true but it wasn't! Super straight forward platform, able to get face to face advice when we needed it, not expensive. Would definitely recommend."

Compliant - measured in line with ISO 14064-1.
Maximally accurate - we don't just rely on spend, but incorporate the activity data that most accurately reflects your carbon emissions, from weight of materials, to how you ship product, to travel and commuting.

Now you have a detailed picture of your carbon footprint, it's time to work with one of our partners to get verified.

Our partners are all UKAS-accredited, so their verification processes are regulated and audited.

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is ISO 14064?

ISO 14064 verification is the independent assessment process used to confirm that an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data and reports are accurate, complete, consistent, transparent, and in accordance with the ISO 14064 standard. It ensures that GHG claims are credible and verifiable by a qualified third party.

What’s the difference between ISO 14064-1, -2, and -3?

ISO 14064-1: Provides requirements for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removals at the organisational level.

ISO 14064-2: Focuses on projects that reduce or remove GHG emissions.

ISO 14064-3: Specifies the verification and validation process, detailing how independent verifiers evaluate GHG statements.

Why is ISO 14064 verification important?

Verification increases credibility and transparency of GHG reporting, building trust with stakeholders, regulators, and investors. It also supports compliance with carbon disclosure requirements or carbon neutrality claims.

Who can perform ISO 14064 verification?

Verification must be conducted by an independent, accredited third-party verifier or verification body (often accredited under ISO 14065). These verifiers must have technical expertise in GHG accounting and follow impartial procedures to ensure objectivity.

Why can't Seedling verify businesses?

We focus on helping businesses to measure their emissions. The verifier must be independent of the organisation responsible for or involved in the emission measurement - otherwise we'd be marking our own homework!
