Measure your full-scope carbon footprint

Scope 3 covers indirect emissions in your value chain — from purchased goods and services, to business travel, employee commuting, and product use and disposal. For most businesses, Scope 3 makes up the vast majority of their footprint, so measuring it accurately is essential for a credible Net Zero strategy. Seedling's flexible methodology and expert support makes Scope 3 straightforward, even for complex businesses.

Most businesses complete their first footprint within 2–4 weeks of starting with Seedling. The process involves a kick-off call, completing our carbon assessment form, and a debrief with your adviser. The timeline depends on the complexity of your business and the availability of your data.

Your Seedling adviser will guide you through exactly what data you need based on your business. Typically this includes energy bills, fuel receipts, travel records, and supplier spend data. We work with whatever you have and help you fill any gaps with appropriate estimates.
