What is SECR?
The UK government mandates large companies to disclose electricity usage and carbon emissions alongside their financials each year.
Does SECR apply to my company?
SECR applies to quoted companies of any size, large unquoted companies, and large LLPs. Unquoted companies and LLPs are “large” when they meet at least two of these criteria:
- 250+ employees
- £36m annual turnover
- £18m balance sheet total
Companies using 40,000 kWh or less over the 12-month reporting period are exempt.
