What our clients say

"We spoke to a few emission tracking partners before we spoke with Seedling, and Seedling's offer seemed too good to be true but it wasn't! Super straight forward platform, able to get face to face advice when we needed it, not expensive. Would definitely recommend."
Natalie Pilch
The Unlikely Saboteur
“Any feelings of being overwhelmed by measuring and reporting our emissions were quickly overcome as a result of the fantastic help and guidance from Seedling. The whole process was really smooth, clearly explained and efficiently delivered.”
Leo Sudea
Operations Director
"Working with Seedling has put us in an incredibly strong position with not only understanding our baseline carbon footprint, but opportunities to improve it and map out the way ahead."
Rhys Jenkins
COO
"We wanted to understand and reduce our carbon footprint but felt overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. Seedling guided us through the process every step of the way, their easy-to-use platform made collecting our business data straightforward, and the team gave us tailored support to build an emissions reduction plan. Thanks to Seedling, we’ve started our journey to Net Zero with confidence."
Ursula Fairlie
Senior Content Manager
"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."
Patrick McDowell
Founder
"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."
Mica Phillips

FAQs

Your questions answered

What is carbon accounting software?

Carbon accounting software helps businesses track, measure, and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It automates data collection, calculates emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and provides tools for compliance and sustainability planning.

How do you do carbon accounting?

Carbon accounting involves gathering data on energy use, transportation, waste, and supply chain activities. Using emission factors, you calculate GHG emissions in CO₂-equivalents, typically broken down into direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2), and value chain (Scope 3) emissions.

Is carbon accounting mandatory in the UK?

Carbon accounting is mandatory for large UK companies under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework. Businesses meeting size thresholds must report their emissions and energy use in annual filings.

How do I choose a carbon accounting software?

Look for software that aligns with your industry, integrates with your data sources, and supports recognised reporting standards (e.g., GHG Protocol). User-friendly interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also key considerations. Seedling for example is great for SMEs looking to calculate their carbon footprint.

How much does carbon accounting cost?

Costs vary widely depending on the software’s features, company size, and complexity. Entry-level tools may start at a few hundred dollars annually, while enterprise solutions with advanced analytics can cost thousands. Our software pricing can be viewed on this website.
