SECR

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK regulation requiring large companies and LLPs to disclose energy use and greenhouse gas emissions annually in their reports.

Definition

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is a UK framework requiring large unquoted companies, LLPs, and quoted companies to report annual energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions, alongside energy efficiency actions taken during the reporting year. SECR is generally less extensive in scope than CSRD but shares the same underlying requirement for accurate energy consumption and emissions data.

Why It Matters

Organisations operating across both the UK and EU often need to satisfy SECR and CSRD simultaneously — since the underlying data (energy consumption, Scope 1/2 emissions) largely overlaps, a single accurate data source can typically serve both requirements rather than needing separate reporting processes.

How ecolyptus Helps

ecolyptus's underlying energy and emissions data can be structured to satisfy both SECR and CSRD reporting requirements from the same source, reducing duplicated reporting effort for organisations in scope for both.
