Engage Module

Employee Sustainability Engagement Tools

Our employee engagement tools make it straightforward to collect accurate commuting and home working data through a simple survey, while giving each employee something genuinely useful in return: a personal breakdown of their own carbon footprint and practical resources to act on it.
HOW IT WORKS

An employee survey built for accuracy and simplicity

Commuting and home working emissions are a meaningful part of most business footprints, and self-reported data is the most accurate way to capture them. Our survey is designed to make the process painless for both you and your employees.

Personalised footprints

Personal emissions breakdowns for every employee

Once the survey is complete, each employee receives their own summary rather than their data disappearing into a report they never see. This includes:

  • A breakdown of their individual emission hotspots across commuting and home working
  • A clear, jargon-free view of what is driving their personal footprint
  • Context to help them understand how their habits compare and where the biggest opportunities sit
  • A format they can engage with without needing any background in sustainability

Giving employees visibility of their own data turns a data collection exercise into a genuine moment of engagement, and makes your climate programme feel relevant at an individual level rather than purely corporate.

Resources and discounts

Resources and discounts to support better choices

Awareness is more useful when it comes with somewhere to go next. Alongside their personal breakdown, each employee receives:

  • Curated links to learning resources covering sustainable travel, home energy and everyday carbon reduction
  • Access to our Climate Action 101 course and quiz
  • Discounts and offers from green energy providers

This makes the survey a benefit rather than a chore, and gives your sustainability programme a visible, practical dimension that employees can act on in their own lives.

What our clients say

Don't just take our word for it...

"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."

"Working with Seedling has put us in an incredibly strong position with not only understanding our baseline carbon footprint, but opportunities to improve it and map out the way ahead."

“Before working with Seedling, we were managing our Carbon Reduction Plan manually in-house. The process was time-consuming, and we knew there were gaps. Seedling transformed this, making it 10 times faster and far more robust. They helped us achieve full coverage of our emissions and provided expert one-to-one guidance on decarbonisation, leaving us confident in our plan for the future.”

“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 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."

"As a recently certified B Corp, finding a way to measure and reduce our carbon emissions as a business was a massive priority but we weren't really sure where to start. Seedling have been fantastic from the start at guiding us through the process, taking the time to explain and helping us improve our own knowledge, and their software has made everything a breeze! With an incredibly quick turn-around time, we have now received our insights and are looking forward to implementing the actions and targets that the team help us set in order to reduce our emissions and sharing that with our community through the integrated engagement functionality. I highly recommend Seedling and their great team, it was a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to doing so again."

FAQs

Your questions answered

How do businesses measure employee commuting and home working emissions?

The most accurate method is a structured employee survey that captures transport modes, distances, frequencies and home energy use, and applies recognised emission factors to calculate individual and aggregate figures. Estimates based on headcount or office location are far less reliable. Our survey automates the calculation process, so employees just answer straightforward questions and the platform handles the rest.

How does employee commuting data feed into a company carbon footprint?

Commuting and home working emissions sit within Scope 3, specifically under employee commuting and remote working categories under the GHG Protocol. Collecting this data through an employee survey and aggregating it by site, team or business unit gives you a far more accurate Scope 3 figure than spend-based or sector-average estimates, which strengthens both your overall footprint and any reports or disclosures that draw from it.

How can businesses engage employees in their sustainability programme?

The most effective approach connects employees to the programme personally rather than just communicating corporate targets. Giving employees their own emissions data, relevant resources and practical ways to reduce their footprint makes sustainability feel tangible rather than abstract. Our survey does this as part of the data collection process, so engagement is built in rather than treated as a separate initiative.

What employee benefits can businesses offer to support lower-carbon commuting?

Common options include cycle to work schemes, salary sacrifice EV leasing, season ticket loans for public transport, subsidised bus or rail passes and remote working policies that reduce commuting frequency altogether. Our platform signposts employees to relevant schemes and offers based on their individual commuting profile, making it easier for them to find the options most applicable to their situation.
