Enquire Now Energy and Carbon Reporting

Peak HSE is able to help businesses with both ESOS and SECR compliance.

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for large organisations in the UK.

Introduced as the UK government’s response to Article 8 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), it requires all large undertakings in the UK to undergo an assessment of energy use and energy efficiency opportunities.

Organisations are required to ensure that all of their significant energy uses in the UK are covered by one or more of the routes to compliance. This could mean a combination of ESOS energy audits, Display Energy Certificates, Green Deal Assessments, or by operating an Energy Management System certified to ISO 50001.

ESOS is separate to the new streamlined energy and carbon reporting (SECR) framework which came into force on 1 April 2019 through The Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018.

Many organisations in scope of ESOS also have SECR obligations which apply to quoted companies, large unquoted companies and limited liability partnerships and requires disclosure in annual reporting of energy, emissions and energy efficiency action taken.

Systems in place to collect and audit energy use to meet ESOS obligations and progress with implementation of ESOS recommendations can help organisations to meet their SECR requirements.
