The carbon impact of consulting

Consultancies are increasingly under pressure to act on their carbon emissions, whether to meet public sector procurement criteria, comply with CSRD in Europe or SECR in the UK, or to attract and retain top talent.

When compared to product-based businesses, the carbon footprint of consulting can seem less tangible and emissions reduction opportunities more challenging to identify. Rigorous emissions data is essential to identifying hotspots and building a credible Net Zero strategy.

How Seedling works

We help consultancies to measure a full scope GHG Protocol compliant carbon footprint, and build SBTi-aligned Net Zero strategies. Our model is simple - intuitive software plus 1:1 support from an expert to reduce the burden on busy project teams. We're experienced in tackling footprinting nuances of the consulting industry, including flexible contractor-heavy teams and project-level assessments.

Engage your team

Measure and influence employees' travel and WFH emissions.

Understand contracted emissions

Account for a flexible and remote workforce.

Get project-level detail

Report on a company-wide or project-specific basis.

"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.

FAQs

Your questions answered.

What emissions should a consulting or advisory firm measure?

Most emissions for consulting firms fall under Scope 2 (office electricity) and Scope 3, including business travel, remote working, software subscriptions, and purchased professional services. These often account for over 90% of a service-based firm’s carbon footprint.

How do we measure emissions when most of our team works remotely or travels frequently?

Seedling allows you to easily track emissions from home working, commuting, and travel using activity-based data for greater accuracy. You can also invite team members to enter key data securely, making distributed reporting simple and scalable.

Is carbon reporting relevant if we’re not required to do it yet?

Yes, many clients now expect ESG transparency from their service providers, especially in regulated sectors. Tracking your emissions also supports B Corp assessments, strengthens procurement bids (e.g. under PPN 06/21), and helps you lead by example when advising others on sustainability.
