If you are subject to SECR, do you know what data to collect?

Approximately 11,900 companies across the UK must report via SECR. If you are one of them, you must report both carbon and energy emissions.

To further complicate matters, your SECR reporting requirements will differ depending on whether you are a quoted company, a large unquoted company or LLP.

SECR reporting requirements may be expanding, will you be able to comply?

With Scope 3 emissions likely to be added to the SECR reporting legislation, collecting accurate emission data is more important than ever.

Getting a full picture of your organisation’s emissions is a time-consuming task and data must be delivered in an auditable state.

With variables such as emissions factors constantly changing, how can you keep up with the workload?

Frequently asked questions

In the UK, the SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) regulations replaced the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme on April 1st, 2019 in an attempt to simplify reporting requirements whilst bringing almost 8,000 more businesses into the UK’s mandatory carbon reporting. The reporting requirement of energy and carbon for all large organisations in the UK (except for some SECR reporting exemptions, see below) is in line with the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.

From the 19th of October, the UKs Department for Energy Security and Net Zero released a call for evidence on the costs, benefits and practicalities of Scope 3 emissions reporting in the UK. This call for evidence closed on the 14th of December 2023.

SECR aims to:

Provide greater transparency for investors and other stakeholders

Increase awareness around energy costs within organisations

Level the reporting burden between quoted and unquoted organisations

Provide organisations with the right emissions data to inform energy efficiency measures and opportunities to reduce their impact on climate change.

For financial years starting on or after April 1st, 2019, the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations affect:

Quoted companies;
Large* unquoted companies;
Large* Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP)

Organisations exempt from the full SECR disclosure include those that can confirm they have used 40,000 kWh of energy or less over the reporting period, where the directors consider the disclosure of the energy and carbon information would be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the organisation, and where it is not practical to obtain the information requested in the disclosure.

Companies in scope of the legislation will need to include their energy and carbon information in their Directors’ Report as part of their annual filing obligations. SECR reporting guidance is published in full by the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

Large companies are defined by the UK Companies Act 2006 as those which have two or more of the following criteria for the reporting period:

An annual balance sheet greater than £18m

More than 250 employees

An annual turnover greater than £36m

Annual greenhouse gas emissions from activities for which the company is responsible including combustion of fuel and operation of any facility; and the annual emissions from the purchase of electricity, heat, steam or cooling by the company for its own use

Previous year’s figures for energy use and greenhouse gas emissions

At least one intensity ratio

Methodology used

A greenhouse gas (GHG or GhG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gases (GHG) included in the atmospheric emissions are those covered by the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

These gases contribute directly to global warming and climate change, because of their positive radiative forcing effect. The potential of each GHG to cause global warming is assessed in relation to a given weight of CO2, so all greenhouse gas emissions are measured as carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).

Emission factors are conversion factors applied to activity data to enable the conversion from raw data to estimated GHG emissions. In calculating GHG emissions from a particular source, geographically relevant and up-to-date factors should be sourced, and care must be taken when selecting the factor.

Created in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures or TCFD is a reporting framework followed in many regions of the world including the European Union, Canada, and Japan to name a few. Its main goal is to allow organisations to see the impact they have on the environment, allowing them to make more sustainable choices in the future.
