SECR vs Other Frameworks
Understand how SECR compares to other carbon reporting requirements like ESOS, TCFD, CSRD, and the GHG Protocol.
SECR vs ESOS
ESOS is an energy assessment scheme requiring large organisations to identify savings opportunities every 4 years. SECR is an annual emissions reporting requirement. Many organisations must comply with both.
Compare →SECR vs TCFD
SECR focuses on operational emissions reporting. TCFD addresses climate-related financial risks and opportunities across governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics.
Compare →SECR vs CSRD
CSRD significantly expands EU sustainability reporting using the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). It is broader, deeper, and more prescriptive than SECR.
Compare →SECR vs GHG Protocol
The GHG Protocol provides the global standard for greenhouse gas accounting. SECR is a UK disclosure regulation that uses GHG Protocol methodology for calculations.
Compare →SECR vs ISO 14064
ISO 14064 provides international standards for GHG quantification, monitoring, and verification. It offers a more rigorous approach than SECR's minimum requirements.
Compare →SECR vs CDP
CDP runs the global environmental disclosure system used by investors and purchasers. Many UK companies complete CDP alongside SECR, particularly if they have investor or customer pressure.
Compare →SECR vs Previous Mandatory Reporting
SECR replaced and expanded upon the previous mandatory carbon reporting requirements introduced in 2013. SECR is broader, covering more companies and requiring additional disclosures.
