Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK reporting requirement that applies to quoted companies and certain large unquoted companies and LLPs. It requires qualifying organisations to disclose energy use, associated greenhouse-gas emissions and a description of energy-efficiency actions taken during the reporting year. Done well, SECR creates consistent, evidence-based disclosures that support governance, stakeholder confidence and long-term carbon planning.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, we can quickly confirm scope and the simplest compliant approach.
We make SECR reporting data-led, accurate and repeatable, aligned with your wider carbon, energy and Net Zero strategy.
We confirm which parts of your organisation fall under SECR and align these boundaries with any existing carbon reporting. Together we agree data sources, roles and responsibilities across finance, operations and procurement, and set up a simple, repeatable model for collecting data each year.
We convert your energy data into CO₂e emissions using recognised factors and clearly document all assumptions. Emissions and intensity metrics are checked against invoices and accounts for accuracy, and we produce clear tables and visuals ready for inclusion in your annual report.
We draft your qualitative SECR narrative in your tone of voice, explaining year-on-year changes and highlighting the actions you’ve taken to improve efficiency. We ensure your SECR disclosures clearly link to your wider carbon-reduction and net-zero plans, creating a consistent and credible story.
Automation and expert validation improve accuracy, reduce manual errors and streamline annual submissions.
Transparent disclosures strengthen ESG credibility and build trust with customers, investors and stakeholders.
SECR outputs help identify opportunities to reduce energy use, cut emissions and lower operating cost.
We manage calculations, evidence collation and reporting requirements to support confident compliance.

SECR requires qualifying companies to report their annual energy use, emissions and efficiency actions in their statutory accounts.
You must comply if your organisation meets two of the following:
DES can confirm your status and outline the exact reporting requirements.
Your SECR disclosure covers:
DES prepares the full disclosure in a format ready for annual accounts.
Often yes — in most cases SECR can align with existing internal carbon data to avoid duplication.
DES ensures SECR and carbon reporting use consistent methods and boundaries.
Typically it is shared between finance, sustainability and operations.
DES builds a process that fits your internal structure and reduces workload.
Yes. SECR highlights year-on-year changes and identifies areas where consumption or emissions are rising.
DES links SECR outputs directly to project opportunities and net-zero planning.
