Ever wondered how to measure the carbon emissions from your commute, and from the energy you use when working from home?
Whether you're fully remote or in the office 5 days a week, your activity has an impact that can be hard to measure.
By answering a few questions, we'll provide an accurate picture of the emissions you generate.
The way we work has changed - and so has our carbon footprint.
Commuting has long been a source of emissions, influenced by factors like vehicle type, distance from the office, and whether employees carpool.
But since the Covid-19 pandemic, homeworking has become a major part of the picture too. With more teams now working remotely or in hybrid setups, home energy use is increasingly relevant.
Read our detailed guide on homeworking emissions and how to tackle them
Measuring emissions across your workforce doesn’t have to be a headache.
With our employee survey, it’s quick and easy:
All you need to do is send the link, give a friendly reminder or two, and you’re on your way to clearer, more complete carbon reporting.
Managing emissions from homeworking starts with engaging your employees. Encouraging sustainable habits through initiatives like a Sustainable Homeworking Policy or regular employee surveys can make a big difference.
One of the biggest contributors to homeworking emissions is heating. Supporting staff to be more energy-aware — for instance, only heating the room they’re working in rather than the whole house — can lead to meaningful savings.
There are plenty of other simple changes too: swapping out old bulbs for energy-efficient LEDs, switching off devices instead of leaving them on standby, and being mindful of electricity use throughout the day.

Some common questions answered around our template.
The survey collects information like travel mode, commuting distance, and home energy use. We then apply government-approved conversion factors to estimate emissions accurately based on those inputs.
Yes, as long as you’re using the Seedling platform, the survey can be shared across your whole organisation, whether employees are remote, hybrid, or office-based.
The questions focus on key behaviours that influence emissions, including the distance and mode of transport for the employee's commute, how often they work from home, and how energy is used during the day.
The survey is designed to be quick and straightforward. Most employees can finish it with just a few minutes of their time.
As responses are submitted, we automatically calculate your team’s commuting and homeworking emissions. The results are immediately ready for reporting, planning, or sharing with stakeholders.
