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.
If your business has large external investors – especially impact-focused funds – you’ll likely be asked to provide carbon data. Fund managers need to report on portfolio emissions, which means that for growing SMEs, managing carbon is becoming part of accessing capital.
If you’re bidding for NHS and UK government contracts worth over £5m a year – or trying to get on public sector frameworks – you’ll need a Carbon Reduction Plan. That includes Scope 1, 2 and some Scope 3 emissions, plus a published Net Zero target.
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.
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.
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.
We guide you through collecting the right data and calculating your carbon footprint across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Where possible, we use activity-based methods for greater accuracy – not just spend estimates or generic assumptions.
Create clear, professional reports for tenders, investors, or frameworks like SECR, B Corp and PPN 06/21. All aligned with the GHG Protocol, and easy to share with clients or leadership.
Set a Net Zero target, build a reduction plan, and model different scenarios. You’ll get one-to-one support from a Seedling adviser, plus a platform that makes tracking and sharing progress simple.
More and more tenders now require carbon disclosures. Our software helps you generate accurate, professional, GHG Protocol compliant reports, so you can stay competitive and land bigger contracts.
