What our clients say

“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.”
Pete Best
Global Commercial & Sustainability Lead
"We chose Seedling to help us negotiate our carbon counting efforts. They made a complicated process as simple and effective as possible. Their platform is thoughtfully designed and offers clear step by step guidance throughout the process. Their customer service is also second to none. They truly support you throughout the analysis and are always quick to respond to queries. Aimée, Blair and their team have created an exceptional product and service. I would not hesitate to recommend their platform."
Chris Hacking
Business Director
"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."
Rhys Jenkins
COO
"Seedling’s carbon footprint platform is refreshingly easy to use and makes reporting much more straightforward than I would have believed possible. I’m so pleased with how effortlessly it simplifies our carbon reduction calculations, dramatically reducing the time it takes to produce a Carbon Reduction Plan."
Emilie Smith
Operations & People Lead
“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.”
Lisa Stanley
Chief Sustainability Officer
"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."

Their collaborative approach involved accurate emission calculations, presented transparently through a user-friendly platform. Seedling's expertise and dedication made the entire process seamless – I’d recommend Seedling to businesses on a sustainability journey."

What's a Carbon Reduction Plan?

If you're bidding for NHS or public sector contracts, you’ll likely be asked to submit a Carbon Reduction Plan that meets the requirements of PPN 006 (06/21)

Required for public sector tenders bids

Officially required for government contracts valued at over £5m per year – and all NHS work since April 2024 – in reality a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan is often needed just to join supplier frameworks.

Includes emissions, targets and actions

Your CRP must include your carbon footprint (Scopes 1, 2 and some Scope 3) for your baseline and current financial year. You'll then need to make your Net Zero commitment, and build an emissions reduction plan show the actions you're taking to get there.

Must be published on your website


A Carbon Reduction Plan is a public-facing document that must be signed off at board-level and published on your website. To remain compliant, it needs to be updated annually and within 6 months of your FY-end.

🚧 The Challenge

Here are the common challenges we see with Carbon Reduction Plan compliance:

You don't have the expertise internally

Carbon accounting can be complex. What data do you need? What scopes matter? Without guidance, it’s hard to know whether you’re calculating your footprint correctly – or meeting the exact requirements of a compliant Carbon Reduction Plan.

You don’t have time to handle it

Carbon reporting often lands on someone who already has a full workload – from Ops leads to Sales Directors. It gets pushed down the list, until there’s a tight deadline and no room for re-works.

You don’t want to get it wrong

There’s real reputational risk in sharing data that isn’t credible – especially when you’re required to publish your emissions publicly. You need confidence that your approach is accurate and credible.

Why Work With Seedling?

All you need to measure, report, and improve your carbon footprint – built for busy teams – with expert support at every step.

Easily create a compliant plan

Our streamlined, SME-friendly software helps you to easily calculate your Scope 1, 2 and required Scope 3 emissions in line with the GHG Protocol. We'll then automatically generate a full Carbon Reduction Plan in line with PPN 006 (06/21).

Get support at every step

Work 1:1 with a Seedling adviser to input your data and get an answer to any question. We'll draft your CRP to ensure it meets the requirements, and help you build a practical decarbonisation strategy that fits your business.

Tight deadline? No problem

We understand that sometimes not everything goes to plan when it comes to prepping for RFPs or framework submissions. Our expertise and automated reporting mean we can help you to move fast and meet your deadline, even if it's within the week.
