What our clients say

"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
“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

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.

‍
