Are your clients aware of SECR

SECR (Streamlined Energy Carbon Reporting)

Didn't find your answer?

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a legal requirement for all registered companies with over 250 employees and either a turnover of more than £30 million or a balance sheet total of more than £18 million.  It is legally required for the annual directors’ reports from April 2020 to include a SECR statement.   

Sustainable Footprints has created an Excel based quantification tool – CEn-Calc which has been specially designed to meet SECR requirements.  As it will be an annual obligation, Sustainable Footprints want to empower and enable eligible businesses to conduct their own SECR calculations and produce the appropriate statements for their reports.  The Sustainable Footprints Quantification Tool is available now, and  I would like to see who would be interested.  I can talk you throught it in in more detail.

Not sure how many auditors of companies for which this will bite are on here- given their need within the audit to check that the AR discloses what is legally required you ought to be ensuring you have got your foot in the door with all auditing firms- in this regard you might want to find out from the various institutes what they have circulated to their members to make them aware of this new AR requirement and see if an audit accredited list of firms can be sourced from same for marketing.

In exchange for this stellar marketing advice if you have a quasi trainee research role within sustainability, and are opening up in Scotland, I have a daughter with a sound Sustainable Development M.A,( 2:1 from St Andrews ) and a Msc with distinction in Urban Planning , now looking for a career path; if you are opening up here you can PM me as my quid pro quo.

Yes they are - the very small number that are affected.

The ICAEW have pumped out updates on the reporting requirements since this became effective. However, I must admit that there seem to be few solutions to actually undertaking the monitoring and disclosure requirements.

There might be some interest from our team to see Cen-Calc.
