Carbon reporting for law firms
Seedling gives law firms a structured, audit-ready approach to carbon measurement and reduction. With our powerful, easy-to-use software - plus support from a dedicated sustainability expert - we'll help you track full-scope carbon emissions (1,2, and 3) in line with the GHG Protocol.
Once your baseline is in place, Seedling helps you build a credible Net Zero roadmap: setting targets and tracking progress, with bespoke and practical advice on how to decarbonise.
We'll then produce the reports you need for client disclosures, public sector compliance, and certifications such as B Corp, ISO, EcoVadis, and SBTi submissions.
Whether you're a boutique practice or global firm, measuring your firm's carbon footprint for the first time or working towards a science-based Net Zero target, our software and team of experts are with you at every step.

How Seedling helps law firms
We work with law firms at every stage of their sustainability journey - and we understand the emissions picture that comes with a hybrid workforce and complex supply chain. Our software handles the heavy lifting: automating your calculations, tracking progress against targets, and generating the reports you need at a click. And at every stage, you have a dedicated sustainability expert who knows your sector on hand to guide you.
Employee emissions
Commuting and homeworking are a meaningful part of any hybrid firm's carbon footprint - and the hardest data to collect manually. Seedling's built-in commuting and homeworking emissions survey makes it simple to track accurate data and engage your team.
Supply-chain engagement
As a law firm, your suppliers (Scope 3 Category 1 - purchased goods and services) will make up a large share of your footprint. Seedling's supplier survey makes it easy to track better data and engage your suppliers on Net Zero.
Reporting and submissions
One-click reporting, and human support for submissions, including:
- Full-scope GHG inventories
- EcoVadis submissions
- ISO carbon reporting
- B Corp Climate Action
- SBTi-aligned targets and roadmaps

FAQs
Your questions answered.
What are the key sources of emissions for law firms?
Law firms typically have relatively low Scope 1 and 2 emissions (e.g. heating, electricity), but Scope 3 can be significant—especially from business travel, commuting, remote working, purchased services, and use of digital tools. Cloud-based legal tech platforms and office suppliers can also contribute.
How do we measure emissions if we don’t manufacture or produce anything?
Seedling focuses on service-based carbon footprints, helping you track emissions from travel, IT, suppliers, and workspace usage. Our activity-based method gives a clear, accurate picture of your firm’s impact—without needing in-house sustainability expertise.
Why should a law firm report its carbon emissions?
Sustainability is becoming essential for client expectations, public sector contracts (e.g. PPN 06/21), and ESG alignment. Reporting your carbon footprint shows leadership, supports B Corp or ISO 14001 goals, and strengthens your firm’s position in an increasingly climate-conscious legal market.
