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

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tunley Environmental right from the quotation stage to the final presentation. Everything was explained perfectly and all questions answered.”

Rachel MarshallPurchasing Manager

“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.”

Leeanne SchererSR. Director of Global Service Operations

“Tunley Environmental were very efficient from start to finish of our project. For our team, it was very new and untouched territory going into the sustainable, carbon neutral world but our engineers were very patient at explaining the different scopes and what was required from us to reach our sustainable goal. They are stuck to our timelines so we were able to show off the hard work we had put in during our awards presentation, the day after we had our final meeting. As a company we will be doing more projects under carbon neutral banner so would be willing to use Tunley Environmental again to make this happen.”

Alicia MarsonEvent Executive

“This is by far the most useful and practical course I have been on and has been the deciding factor in our actual implementation of a business carbon assessment. This is because it has given us the correct details on how to actually go about doing the calculation, rather than just why it is important. We now have the knowledge in our company to continue with this work and improve our performance.”

Maggie FennellR&D Environment and Education Manager

“Tunley Environmental has been great support through our carbon assessments. Torill completed an embodied carbon report on one of our products, we used the embodied carbon report and submitted to MAKE UK sustainability regional awards and won for our region. Great to be working with Tunley Environmental and the team and look forward to reaching our goal of net zero which I know we can with the support and expertise of the team.”

Scott CommonsHSQE Manager

“I'm very grateful to Tunley Environmental for their professional and thorough approach to our business and product assessment. We brought some complicated and novel requirements and they tackled these with enthusiasm, including tackling novel research. I would highly recommend them to anyone requiring a carbon assessment.”
