"With Seedling, we inputted data on what we do as a brand: the materials we use, where they're made, how they've travelled etc. The team at Seedling then calculate what that means in terms of carbon. To see all of our data in one place, and having a real person at the end of the phone to discuss what the data means and crucially how to make what we do better, was amazing."

"We were keen to measure our emissions but didn’t know where to start. As an SME with little carbon accounting experience – and a manufacturer needing to capture trickier areas like material inputs – Seedling’s platform and 1:1 support were invaluable. The Seedling team made a potentially complicated process straightforward for us. We’re now clear on our key hotspots and have a credible reduction plan we’re proud to share."

"Seedling has enabled us to play around with our strategy and understand the impact of any changes we make. For instance, if we want to switch 60% of cotton to recycled, we can quantify the impact that this will have. This is so helpful because once we've set targets, the key challenge is understanding how we get there."

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is ISO 14064?

ISO 14064 verification is the independent assessment process used to confirm that an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data and reports are accurate, complete, consistent, transparent, and in accordance with the ISO 14064 standard. It ensures that GHG claims are credible and verifiable by a qualified third party.

What’s the difference between ISO 14064-1, -2, and -3?

ISO 14064-1: Provides requirements for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removals at the organisational level.

ISO 14064-2: Focuses on projects that reduce or remove GHG emissions.

ISO 14064-3: Specifies the verification and validation process, detailing how independent verifiers evaluate GHG statements.

Why is ISO 14064 verification important?

Verification increases credibility and transparency of GHG reporting, building trust with stakeholders, regulators, and investors. It also supports compliance with carbon disclosure requirements or carbon neutrality claims.

Who can perform ISO 14064 verification?

Verification must be conducted by an independent, accredited third-party verifier or verification body (often accredited under ISO 14065). These verifiers must have technical expertise in GHG accounting and follow impartial procedures to ensure objectivity.

Why can't Seedling verify businesses?

We focus on helping businesses to measure their emissions. The verifier must be independent of the organisation responsible for or involved in the emission measurement - otherwise we'd be marking our own homework!
