Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR)
What is Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)?
The Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) policy came into force on the 1st April 2019. All qualifying organisations within the scope need to comply starting on or after the 1st April 2019 with the first report due from 31st March 2020, or within the 12 months following to align with your organisation’s financial year-end.
SECR builds on existing requirements that companies may face, these include:
-
Greenhouse Gas Reporting (GHG)
-
Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
-
Climate Change Agreements (CCA) Scheme
-
EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
-
SECR further extends the reporting requirements for companies and aims to bring benefits of carbon and energy reporting to more businesses.
Why has SECR been implemented?
SECR framework is intended to encourage companies to implement energy efficiency measures that have both economic and environmental benefits. Through the correct monitoring of energy usage, there will be long term savings in cost and carbon emissions. The requirement for companies to make annual disclosures on energy and carbon also falls in-line with the G20 Financial Stability Board’s Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. The information provided will ultimately help investors and shareholders find a clearer path to sustainable low carbon energy resources.
Who should participate in SECR?
There are three groups of businesses that are affected by the new regulations. Companies that fall within the following definitions must comply (unless exempt under specific criteria):
-
Quoted companies of any size that already report under mandatory greenhouse gas reporting regulations.
-
Unquoted companies incorporated in the UK that already meet the definition of ‘large’ under the Companies Act 2006 will have new reporting obligations. This will apply to registered and unregistered companies.
-
‘Large’ LLPs will also be required to prepare and file a ‘Energy and Carbon report.
