  • SECR Compliance Made Simple

Is Your Business Ready for SECR Compliance?

If your UK organisation meets two or more of the qualifying criteria—£36 million turnover, £18 million balance sheet total, or 250 employees—you’re required to report your energy use and carbon emissions annually under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting framework.

As specialist SECR consultants, we transform what could be a complex administrative burden into a straightforward, stress-free process. We help you unlock the strategic value hidden within your SECR reporting—from identifying energy efficiency opportunities that reduce costs to strengthening your sustainability credentials with stakeholders.

Understanding Your SECR Obligations

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK government framework introduced in April 2019 to increase transparency around organisational energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation requires eligible companies and limited liability partnerships to publicly disclose their annual energy use, associated carbon emissions, and energy efficiency measures within their Directors’ Report.
SECR builds upon previous reporting requirements, including mandatory greenhouse gas reporting for quoted companies, whilst extending these obligations to a much broader range of large UK businesses. The framework is designed to drive awareness of energy costs, encourage emissions reductions, and support the UK’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050.

Who Needs SECR Reporting?

The Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework applies to a wide range of UK organisations. Understanding whether your company falls within scope is the critical first step towards compliance.
  • Core Compliance Criteria
Your organisation must comply with SECR requirements if it meets at least two of the following three criteria during a financial year:

Annual turnover of £36 million or more

This threshold applies to your total revenue for the financial year. Both UK and overseas turnover should be included in this calculation.

Balance sheet total of £18 million or more

This refers to the total value of assets shown on your company's balance sheet at the end of the financial year.

250 employees or more

Employee count is calculated as the average number of employees during the financial year, including both full-time and part-time staff.

UK-Quoted Companies

All UK-quoted companies must comply with SECR reporting requirements regardless of their size. This includes companies with equity shares admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, NYSE, NASDAQ, or any EU-regulated market.

Low Energy User Exemption

If your organisation consumed less than 40,000 kWh (40 MWh) of energy during the reporting period, you qualify for a low energy user exemption. However, you must still include a statement confirming this exemption in your Directors' Report.

Group Reporting Considerations

For corporate groups, the size thresholds are assessed on a consolidated basis. If your parent company meets the criteria, all subsidiaries must be included in the group SECR report. However, subsidiary companies included in a group report are exempt from producing their own individual reports. Unincorporated companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) that meet the size criteria are also required to report under SECR regulations in their Energy and Carbon Reports.

Who Needs SECR Reporting?

Under SECR compliance requirements, eligible organisations must disclose:

UK Energy Consumption

Electricity, gas, and transport fuel consumption including UK offshore areas

Scope 1 & 2 Emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with your energy use

Intensity Metrics

At least one intensity metric such as emissions per employee, per square metre, or per £ turnover

Comparative Figures

Data from the previous reporting year for comparison

Energy Efficiency Actions

Narrative description of energy efficiency actions taken during the period

Methodology Details

Explanation of how figures were calculated

Note: For quoted companies, the requirements extend to global energy use and emissions, not just UK operations.

Your SECR Reporting Questions Answered

Find answers to the most common questions about SECR compliance and our services.
Whilst there are no specific financial penalties for SECR non-compliance, failure to include the required disclosures in your Directors’ Report constitutes a breach of the Companies Act 2006. This can result in the report being rejected by Companies House, requiring resubmission and potentially damaging your organisation’s reputation. Directors who approve non-compliant reports may face personal liability. Additionally, investors, customers, and other stakeholders increasingly scrutinise environmental reporting, and non-compliance can harm your organisation’s standing and access to capital.
Your SECR report must be included in your Directors’ Report as part of your annual financial statements. The deadline is therefore the same as your statutory accounts filing deadline—typically nine months after your financial year end for private companies, and six months for public companies. For example, if your financial year ends on 31 December 2025, your SECR report would be due by 30 September 2026 (private company) or 30 June 2026 (public company). We recommend beginning the SECR process at least three months before your filing deadline to allow sufficient time for data collection, analysis, and report preparation.
SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) and ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) are both UK energy reporting frameworks, but they serve different purposes and have different requirements. SECR is an annual reporting obligation that requires eligible companies to disclose energy consumption and carbon emissions in their Directors’ Report. It applies to large UK companies and quoted companies. ESOS, by contrast, is a mandatory energy assessment scheme that requires eligible organisations to conduct comprehensive energy audits every four years. ESOS applies to large undertakings and their corporate groups, using different size thresholds (250+ employees or turnover of €50 million and balance sheet of €43 million). Whilst both aim to improve energy efficiency, SECR focuses on transparency and disclosure, whilst ESOS emphasises identifying energy-saving opportunities through detailed audits.
No, SECR does not require reporting of Scope 3 emissions. You are only required to report Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from sources you own or control, such as company vehicles and on-site fuel combustion) and Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling). However, many organisations choose to voluntarily report Scope 3 emissions (all other indirect emissions in your value chain, such as business travel, supply chain emissions, and product use) as part of their broader sustainability strategy. Whilst not mandatory for SECR, Scope 3 reporting can demonstrate leadership and is increasingly expected by investors and stakeholders.
Absolutely. Whilst our primary service is SECR compliance reporting, our analysis goes beyond mere regulatory compliance. As part of our process, we identify practical opportunities for reducing energy consumption and costs within your operations. Many of our clients discover that relatively straightforward efficiency measures can deliver substantial savings—often enough to offset the cost of SECR reporting services many times over. We can provide recommendations on energy-efficient technologies, operational improvements, and behavioural changes that reduce both your carbon footprint and your energy bills. For clients seeking more comprehensive support, we can also connect you with specialists in energy management, renewable energy procurement, and sustainability strategy development.
The timeline for SECR reporting varies depending on your organisation’s size, complexity, and data availability. For most clients, the process takes between 4 to 8 weeks from initial engagement to final report delivery. For organisations with readily available data and straightforward structures, we can often deliver faster. We work to your schedule and can accommodate urgent deadlines when needed. The key to an efficient process is early engagement—the sooner you involve us, the more time we have to ensure a thorough, stress-free experience.
If your total UK energy consumption is 40,000 kilowatt hours (40 MWh) or less during the reporting period, you qualify as a low energy user and are exempt from detailed SECR reporting. However, you must still include a statement in your Directors’ Report confirming that you’re a low energy user. We can help you determine whether you meet this threshold and prepare the appropriate disclosure statement if applicable.
Yes. Our reports are prepared in full accordance with the UK government’s SECR guidance and internationally recognised greenhouse gas accounting standards. We provide comprehensive supporting documentation, including calculation methodologies, data sources, and quality assurance records. Our reports are designed to withstand audit scrutiny, and we’re happy to liaise directly with your auditors if they have any questions. Our 100% compliance record reflects the quality of our work.
