Why Carbon Reporting Matters for SMEs?
Win work with large clients and partners
Large companies are under pressure to report and reduce their Scope 3 emissions, which means they’re turning to their SME suppliers for carbon data. Carbon footprint requests are now a common feature of tender submissions and procurement policies from big businesses.
Meet investor expectations
If your business has large external investors – especially impact-focused funds – you’ll likely be asked to provide carbon data. As investors need to report on portfolio emissions, managing carbon is becoming part of the growth journey for startups and SMEs.
Win public sector contracts
If you’re bidding for NHS and UK government contracts – or trying to get on public sector frameworks – you’ll increasingly need a Carbon Reduction Plan. This report includes Scope 1, 2 and some Scope 3 emissions, plus a published Net Zero target.
🚧What’s Holding You Back?
You don't have the in-house expertise
Carbon accounting can be complex. What data do you need? What scopes matter? Without guidance, it’s hard to know you’re doing it right – or in a way that clients and regulators will accept.
You don’t have the time
Carbon reporting often lands on someone who already has a full workload – from Ops leaders to Sales Director. This means it gets pushed down the list – until a client or funder suddenly needs it.
You don’t want to get it wrong
There’s a real reputational risk in publishing numbers or targets that don’t hold up scrutiny. You need confidence that your data and approach are credible.
Why Work with Seedling to Measure and Report Carbon?
