However, Action Plans will be accepted up to March 5, 2025. ESOS applies to large UK organisations with either 250+ employees, or a turnover exceeding £44m, and a balance sheet exceeding £33m.   In-scope organisations should have already completed an ESOS audit and by 5th December will also need to complete and submit an Action Plan for energy savings to remain compliant. Businesses will also need to submit progress reports against the Action Plan for the following two years. Non-compliance could lead to fines and reputational damage.   Act now to ensure compliance before the December deadline. Even if you’re not required to comply, an energy audit can identify inefficiencies, highlight improvement areas, reduce costs, and enhance emissions performance, helping you meet your net zero targets.   𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐒𝐎𝐒 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞?  edenseven’s team of specialist auditors and lead assessors are here to assist.

In accordance with the UK government's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements have been established to ensure transparency in corporate environmental impact reporting. UK companies required to comply with SECR include large companies that meet at least two of the following criteria: a turnover of £36 million or more, a balance sheet total of £18 million or more, or more than 250 employees. Quoted companies listed on UK or international stock exchanges are also subject to these regulations. The reporting requirements under SECR mandate the disclosure of several key data points. Companies must report their total UK energy consumption, which includes gas, electricity, and transport fuel, as well as the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). Additionally, companies are required to present an intensity ratio, which provides a metric to compare emissions year-on-year, such as emissions per million pounds of turnover. Companies must also outline the actions taken to improve energy efficiency during the reporting period. SECR information must be included in the company’s annual financial report for each financial year. Complying with these requirements not only ensures adherence to legal obligations but also allows businesses to demonstrate corporate responsibility, identify opportunities for cost savings through energy efficiency, and position themselves as leaders in sustainability efforts. #SECR #UK #Sustainabilitycompliance #Sustainability
