FAQs

Learn more about SECR for business.
What is Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)?

The UK government introduced its Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) policy in April 2019 to encourage action towards a low-carbon economy.

How do I comply with SECR?

Under the scheme, businesses required to comply must annually report on energy emissions and Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

How does SECR relate to other reporting schemes?

SECR builds on but does not replace several other emissions reporting requirements, which remain active:

  • The Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
  • Climate Change Agreements (CCA) Scheme
  • EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
  • Mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting for quoted companies
How do I know if my company qualifies for SECR?

The scheme applies to all UK companies that meet two or more of the following criteria in a financial year:

  • More than 250 employees
  • Over £36m annual turnover
  • Over £18m on annual balance sheet
What are the business benefits of SECR compliance?

The introduction of SECR could deliver a potential £1.5 billion of value to society through carbon savings, improved air quality, and reduced noise pollution.

How does Planet Mark help with SECR compliance?

Planet Mark helps ensure compliance by measuring and independently verifying Scope 1, 2, and key elements of Scope 3 emissions as part of our Business Certification. We will also produce an SECR-compliant report to accompany your financial disclosures to Companies House, providing added assurance that your submissions are accurate.
