"As a recently certified B Corp, finding a way to measure and reduce our carbon emissions as a business was a massive priority but we weren't really sure where to start. Seedling have been fantastic from the start at guiding us through the process, taking the time to explain and helping us improve our own knowledge, and their software has made everything a breeze! With an incredibly quick turn-around time, we have now received our insights and are looking forward to implementing the actions and targets that the team help us set in order to reduce our emissions and sharing that with our community through the integrated engagement functionality. I highly recommend Seedling and their great team, it was a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to doing so again."

"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."

“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.”

"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."
