What our clients say

"I love working with Seedling. Passionate, insightful and thoughtful people doing work that benefits our business, our staff, and the whole planet. They are easy to work alongside, with a well-constructed process that is simple to follow for any business, small or large."

Simon Stuart

Client Services Director

"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."

Sam Holding
