Efficient Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)

Improve energy efficiency and remain compliant

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) aims to promote energy efficiency within organisations, supporting the UK’s commitment to environmental targets.

We help qualifying organisations understand how and where they are using the most energy and take care of the collation, calculations and reporting of energy consumption and carbon emissions for Scopes 1, 2 and 3. In addition, our service will help you understand how and where your organisation is using the most energy to identify ways to reduce consumption and costs.

SECR is mandatory for large companies that meet two or more of the following criteria:

Turnover is £36 million or more.

Balance sheet totals £18 million or more.

250 or more employees.

Who needs to comply?

Qualifying organisations must disclose, as a minimum, their energy consumption and emissions relating to their use of electricity, gas and fuel from company operated or grey fleet vehicles from the UK and offshore area, within their public Director’s Report. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are required to disclose the data within an Energy and Carbon Report.

Quoted companies

Quoted companies of any size that are required to prepare a Directors’ Report to include mandatory greenhouse gas reporting under the Directors and LLP reporting regulations that were updated in 2018, are required to comply with SECR. Quoted companies in this respect are those listed on the London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, or the European Economic Area State.

Large unquoted companies and large limited liability partnerships

Unquoted companies incorporated in the UK which are required to prepare a Directors’ Report to include mandatory greenhouse gas reporting under the Directors and LLP reporting regulations that were updated in 2018, and which are defined as “large” are required to comply with SECR.

Who is exempt?

Low energy users are exempt from disclosing their detailed energy and carbon data. A low energy user is defined as an organisation that uses 40,000 kWh or less during the reporting period.

Companies that are incorporated outside of the UK are not required to report on energy and carbon in their Directors report.

Key features and benefits

Ensure compliance and avoid penalties

Our specialist Sustainability team is ready to determine your need to comply, collate your data and prepare your submission.

We can evaluate your consumption data, carry out the required audits, complete the necessary reports, and submit the data to ensure you meet your financial reporting deadline.

Reduce energy costs

On average, an organisation can reduce its annual energy costs by 20% through improving energy efficiency and energy management.

We have identified savings for our clients that offer a fast return on investment, including upgrading lighting to make savings of between 40% and 50%, or optimising building management systems (BMS) that can see reductions in gas consumption of as much as 25% through simple control system changes.

Support your net zero journey streamline your GHG reporting

The legislation builds on existing mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, such as the four-yearly cycle of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).

SECR, ESOS and net zero complement one another, with SECR providing the data collection, ESOS completing bespoke audits, and our market-leading Zen Zero solution delivering a sustainable future.

Energy Performance Certificates

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) indicate the intrinsic energy performance potential of a building using a rating system from A-G, where A is very efficient, and G is the least efficient. Ensuring a good energy rating is critical in this increasingly competitive environment as it will affect the rental and saleable value of your buildings and it also offers the opportunity to reduce tenants’ exposure to rising energy costs.

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) aims to improve the energy efficiency of the national building stock. From April 2018, it became unlawful to grant new leases for non-domestic properties in England and Wales which do not meet the standard.
