Seedling acquires Go Climate Positive to expand carbon accounting and reporting services

Seedling, a Bath-based carbon management firm, has acquired Go Climate Positive (GCP), another carbon accounting specialist. The deal, completed on October 31, will move GCP's clients onto Seedling's platform over the coming weeks, with each client getting support from a dedicated carbon specialist. GCP founders Eoin McQuone and Stephanie Lee will stay involved during the transition and shift their focus to consultancy and training for larger businesses. Seedling currently supports more than 500 businesses, combining its own carbon accounting software with one-to-one guidance. The acquisition responds to rising demand for credible carbon data as reporting requirements tighten. For clients, the key question is whether the platform migration and ongoing support will feel seamless. For the wider market, this deal shows how consolidation is starting to shape the fragmented carbon accounting space.
