SECR Reporting Explained: UK Carbon Compliance Deadlines Approaching | Business of Sustainability Bitesize | FuturePlus

Louisa Hoy, Junior Sustainability Consultant at FuturePlus, returns to explain SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), the UK regulation requiring businesses above certain thresholds to report energy use and carbon emissions in their annual financial accounts.

With reporting deadlines approaching, Louisa breaks down who needs to comply (the three-threshold test), why voluntary reporting makes strategic sense even before you're required to, and how SECR forms the foundation for broader ESG compliance.

We discuss why carbon data should be treated with the same importance as financial data, how to improve data quality over time, and what businesses approaching the thresholds should do now to get ahead of compliance requirements.

Whether you're already in scope, approaching the thresholds, or simply want to understand UK carbon reporting obligations, this episode offers a practical guide to SECR and what it means for your business.
