GHG Emissions Report

For many businesses, the first thing a client, investor or procurement team asks for is a straightforward statement of emissions. Our GHG Emissions Report gives you exactly that: a clean, professionally structured disclosure aligned to the GHG Protocol, ready to share at a moment's notice.
HOW IT WORKS

A verified emissions statement aligned to the GHG Protocol

The GHG Emission Report is built around your verified platform data and structured to meet the disclosure expectations of the world's most widely recognised emissions reporting framework.

Methodology

Methodology and assumptions, documented clearly

A credible emissions disclosure does not just state numbers, it explains how they were arrived at. Your GHG Emission Report includes:

  • Your emissions broken downby Scope and GHG Protocol category
  • A methodology section setting out the GHG Protocol standards and emission factor databases used
  • Category-level notes on data sources, so readers understand whether figures are based on primary data, supplier information or spend-based estimates
  • A clear record of any assumptions made during calculation, with the rationale behind them
  • Boundary exclusions documented and explained, so nothing looks like it has been quietly omitted

This level of transparency is increasingly expected by sophisticated stakeholders and makes the report far more defensible under scrutiny.

Designed to be shared

The GHG Emission Report is formatted for external use from the outset. Once produced:

  • It is available to download and share directly, or publish via your Impact page with a permanent, linkable URL
  • It can be attached to tender submissions, investor packs or ESG questionnaires without any additional formatting
  • It sits alongside your other reports and disclosures in one place, giving stakeholders a consistent view of your climate position
  • It can be reproduced each year to build a transparent, timestamped record of your emissions over time

For businesses that need a straightforward, credible emissions disclosure without a more complex reporting obligation, the GHG Emission Report is the most direct route from verified data to a document you can stand behind.

What our clients say

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

"We needed to report carbon data and a decarbonisation plan to our client, Microsoft. We needed the output to be high quality and credible, but didn’t have loads of time to dedicate to measuring emissions. Seedling’s software plus support model meant the process wasn’t too time intensive for us as a busy team. The fact that our calculations were checked by Seedling us confidence in the output."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is a GHG Protocol emissions report and what does it need to include?

A GHG Protocol-aligned report is a structured disclosure of a business's greenhouse gas emissions, covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 where material. At minimum it should state total emissions by scope, explain the reporting boundary and methodology, identify the emission factors used and document any significant assumptions. Our GHG Summary Report is structured to meet these requirements and is generated automatically from your verified data.

Do I need a GHG report even if emissions reporting is not a legal requirement for my business?

Increasingly, yes. Even where there is no regulatory obligation, emissions disclosure is requested by large customers during procurement, by investors as part of ESG due diligence and by supply chain partners working to address their own Scope 3 footprint. Having a verified, professionally structured GHG report ready to share puts you in a stronger position whenever those requests arrive.

How is a GHG Summary Report different from a Carbon Reduction Plan or SECR report?

A GHG Summary Report is a statement of emissions, focused on what your footprint is and how it was calculated. A Carbon Reduction Plan goes further, adding a net zero commitment and reduction initiatives. SECR is a UK regulatory requirement with a specific format for large companies reporting through their annual accounts. The GHG Summary Report is the most transferable format, accepted across the widest range of stakeholder contexts.

How often should I produce a GHG emissions report?

Annual reporting aligned to your financial year is standard practice and allows year-on-year comparison. Some businesses produce interim updates if they are tracking against a reduction target or responding to a specific stakeholder request. Our platform retains your data and report history, so producing a consistent annual disclosure is straightforward once your first report is in place.
