The UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) implemented SECR in April 2019 as a mandatory reporting framework to help UK companies improve corporate transparency about their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The qualifying companies are required to publicly share their energy use and carbon emissions data in their annual Director’s Report. SECR was introduced under The Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018 with the aim of simplifying emissions reporting requirements for eligible organizations. By replacing the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme, SECR widened the scope of energy and carbon reporting to a large number of organizations while promoting energy efficiency actions. The key objectives of SECR Reporting UK are to enhance visibility of energy use and carbon emissions within organizations, promote positive energy-efficient strategies, and support the UK’s net-zero by 2050 goal.

SECR, or Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, is a UK government framework introduced to improve transparency around business energy use and carbon emissions. It helps organizations measure, manage, and reduce their environmental impact.
SECR reporting is the mandatory disclosure by eligible companies of their annual energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and efficiency measures. The information is included in company annual reports, ensuring visibility for stakeholders and investors.
SECR came into effect in April 2019 and applies to financial years starting on or after this date. From then, qualifying companies must include SECR data in their annual reporting cycle.
SECR applies to large UK companies and LLPs that meet at least two of the following: turnover above £36m, balance sheet total over £18m, or more than 250 employees. Some exemptions exist, such as for organizations with very low energy use.
No, SECR requirements do not apply to public sector bodies. The framework is designed for private sector companies, although public sector organizations may have separate carbon and energy reporting obligations.
