The Requirements

SECR REQUIRES QUALIFYING COMPANIES TO

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requires qualifying companies to disclose three metrics and two pieces of commentary.

Metric 1: Total Energy Consumption

Most organisations can calculate this by adding their gas and electricity bills. Unquoted organisations and LLPs must also include fuel purchased for all business travel beginning and ending in the UK.

Metric 2: Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

Using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s framework, Scope 1 covers direct emissions from company-controlled infrastructure, whilst Scope 2 covers emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, and cooling. These are expressed in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e) to normalise emissions of non-carbon greenhouse gases.

Metric 3: An Emissions Intensity Ratio

To put your emissions in context, they must also be expressed relative to some business activity—e.g., tCO₂e per £/$ of turnover. The chosen ratio must be considered “most appropriate” for your core business activity.

Commentary 1: Brief commentary on action taken

You must list all actions taken in the past year to improve energy efficiency across your infrastructure and operations.

Commentary 2: Notes on Methodology

You must make it clear how you calculated your consumption, emissions, and intensity ratio.

Testimonials

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

“The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how the unimaginable can change the world overnight. Human-made climate change has the same potential to impact our world and requires the right decisions and urgent action now. Optima Products Ltd has committed to achieving net zero GHG emissions in its own operations by 2035, as a manufacturer this will necessitate significant changes. We have therefore engaged with Tunley Environmental to partner us in delivering this commitment.”

Christian MabeyManaging Director

“At Sound United, one of our core values is that 'Our Obligation is Bigger than Us'. When implementing ESG, we needed to understand our baseline for carbon footprint in order to understand how we could reduce our impact on the environment. Tunley Environmental's knowledgeable team of professionals knew what we were looking to do, and worked quickly with our global team to gather and analyse our data. Throughout the process, they were easy to work with and on time on their delivery schedule. I highly recommended Tunley's service.”
