Zenergi provided peace of mind that our Trust was compliant with the new carbon reporting requirements of SECR. The support meant we didn’t have to worry about the complexity of the data gathering or understanding what needed to be included. For a large Trust like ours it is also really helpful to be able to turn to Zenergi for a joined up approach to all things energy.

The Constellation Trust
The Trust wanted greater choice, flexibility, and better visibility of energy spending. We guided The Constellation Trust through forward purchasing energy at low wholesale prices, delivering big savings.
When the government introduced Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, The Constellation Trust met the qualification criteria and was required to submit a report quantifying its carbon footprint within its annual report. As its trusted energy partner, the Trust turned to us to ensure compliance.
Introduced in April 2019, SECR simplifies energy and carbon reporting while encouraging organisations to adopt measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Constellation Trust was one of several MATs that needed to measure its carbon footprint for the first time – collating, calculating and reporting its energy consumption and carbon emissions for Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The Constellation Trust wanted to ensure it was complying correctly with the complex reporting requirements.
We assigned a dedicated project manager to oversee every aspect of SECR compliance, ensuring timely and accurate reporting.
The SECR annual report raises the profile of energy efficiency at board level, influencing decisions and driving the strategic consideration of energy efficiency and low carbon opportunities.
This strategy is invaluable in identifying immediate cost-effective energy improvements, driving The Constellation Trust’s strategic direction to Net Zero 2050.
Beyond SECR, Zenergi has provided a range of valuable services to The Constellation Trust:
