Seetec's footprint was 815 tCO2e in its year to March 2026, about 60% below 2021 but up 3% on the year, and part of the fall comes from leaving landlord-managed premises out of the count. Its energy figures are estimated from benchmarks rather than meters, and its supply-chain figures cover only travel and commuting. It aims to be carbon neutral by 2030 and net zero by 2050, with no interim targets or SBTi validation, and it offset about 30% of its footprint.
Seetec scores 50/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified October 2026.
That places Seetec joint 156th of 900 companies scored, and 17th of 24 in Consulting / Professional Services.
