FAQs
What is SECR?
SECR stands for Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, a UK government regulation requiring qualifying companies to disclose energy use, carbon emissions, and energy efficiency within their annual reports. Introduced in April 2019, it replaced the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC).
Which businesses are required to comply with SECR?
SECR applies to the following entities in the UK:
Quoted companies of any size
Large unquoted companies and LLPs that meet at least two of these criteria:
Turnover of £36 million (or more)
Balance sheet total of £18 million (or more)
250 (or more) employees
Unquoted companies or LLPs are exempt if their energy use is under 40 MWh/year, although they must still disclose that exemption.
These criteria are defined in UK government SECR guidance.
What is involved in SECR reporting?
SECR reporting requirements differ slightly by organisation:
Quoted companies must report:
Global energy use (in kWh)
Global Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
At least one emissions intensity ratio
Energy efficiency actions taken during the financial year
The methodology used for calculations
Large unquoted companies and LLPs must report:
UK energy use (electricity, gas, transport fuel)
Associated UK Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
A prior-year comparison (except in the first reporting year)
At least one intensity ratio
A narrative on energy efficiency actions and methodology
When and where do we report SECR data?
SECR disclosures must be included annually, aligned with the organisation’s financial year.
Quoted companies must include SECR information in their Directors’ Report (or Strategic Report, if more appropriate).
Unquoted companies and LLPs must prepare an Energy and Carbon Report, approved and signed by designated members.
Reports are filed with Companies House as part of statutory accounts.
Is Scope 3 reporting required under SECR?
No, Scope 3 emissions (such as supply chain or travel emissions) are not mandatory under SECR, the legislation requires disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions only.
However, organisations are strongly encouraged to report on Scope 3 emissions voluntarily to provide a comprehensive emissions picture, support stakeholder expectations and encourage future regulatory readiness.
What happens if you don’t comply with SECR?
Failure to comply with SECR can lead to regulatory scrutiny, reputational risk, and challenges during audits or due diligence.
