SECR
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting
Large UK companies must report energy use and carbon emissions in their annual Director’s Report.
As a minimum, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requires you to disclose your Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions – in other words, the carbon footprint of running your buildings and vehicles.

Will you be affected?
It’s mandatory to prepare an SECR disclosure in your annual accounts if your business is a UK registered large business*, which meets two of the following criteria:
250 or more employees, and/or
Annual turnover of more than £36 million, and/or
Annual balance sheet total of more than £18 million
*Please note that the criteria for classifying a large company in the UK is changing in April 2025, but many organisations will still have legacy reporting requirements.
What to report on:
Scope 1: Heating, fuel for company vehicles and any other on-site fuel combustion, along with industrial processes that use greenhouse gases as well as refrigerants and fire suppression equipment.
Scope 2: The electricity you purchase from the grid, along with any purchased steam, heating, or cooling.
You are also strongly encouraged to report the Scope 3 categories associated with your people including business travel, use of employee-owned cars and commuting.
