An SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) Report is a mandatory disclosure for large UK companies, requiring them to report their energy usage, carbon emissions, and energy efficiency measures as part of their annual financial filings.
Introduced by the UK government in 2019, SECR aims to increase corporate transparency on carbon emissions and encourage businesses to reduce their environmental impact.
SECR applies to quoted companies (i.e. listed on a public stock exchange), or unquoted companies and LLPs defined as "large" under the regulation.
This covers approximately 11,900 businesses in the UK. The reporting requirements are different depending on whether you are quoted or unquoted.
