Is SECR on Your Radar?

If your company is registered in the UK and meets at least two of the following – over 250 employees, annual turnover of more than £36 million, or a balance sheet total above £18 million – then SECR likely applies to you. Whether you’re navigating your first report or streamlining your existing process, we’re here to help.

Understanding SECR Requirements

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a mandatory annual disclosure for qualifying UK companies. It requires reporting of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and related energy efficiency actions in your Directors’ Report. It’s about more than ticking boxes – it’s a key part of your sustainability message and business transparency.

What We Deliver

At Equity Energies, we turn complex data into clear reports. We can calculate and verify your total energy consumption and emissions across electricity, gas and transport. Then we help you articulate the actions taken to improve efficiency, drawing links between performance, strategy and compliance. All fully aligned with SECR guidance.

One Step Ahead of Regulation

SECR rarely stands alone. We integrate it with wider reporting obligations like ESOS and your Net Zero targets. Our insight doesn’t stop at compliance—we give you actionable recommendations and ongoing support to help you use your energy data to reduce waste, control costs and lead on sustainability.

What is SECR and Why Does It Matter?

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK government initiative designed to increase transparency and accountability around business energy usage and carbon emissions. It applies to quoted companies, large unquoted companies, and LLPs who meet two or more of the following: over 250 employees, turnover of more than £36 million, or a balance sheet total of more than £18 million.

The requirement is simple in theory: disclose annual energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and efficiency measures in your company’s annual reports. In practice, it can be time-consuming, technical, and a source of stress for internal teams already managing tight resources.

That’s where we come in.
