SECR, ESOS & UK SRS Reporting

Move from fragmented spreadsheets to a controlled reporting process.

SECR, ESOS (Phase 4) and UK SRS have often been run as separate workstreams, yet they rely on much of the same underlying energy data. As sustainability reporting requirements evolve, organisations need data, calculation methods and approval controls that can support both current SECR and ESOS disclosures and future reporting needs like UK SRS. Expectations for controlled, transparent and decision-useful sustainability data continue to increase across the UK reporting landscape.

 

Common challenges:

 

    • Time spent rekeying meter reads, invoices, fuel and mileage each reporting cycle.
    • Emission factors maintained manually across multiple workbooks.
    • Limited visibility of who changed data, when and why.
    • Reporting models that are difficult to carry forward consistently between years.
    • Manual calculations that are hard to review, validate and evidence.

One governed dataset — collect once, report to SECR, ESOS and UK SRS.

apexanalytix centralises energy and emissions information in one governed inventory, applying consistent calculation methods with a clear record of evidence and approvals. Manage the energy and emissions information “required for all UK sustainability regulations, with additional support for Scope 3 and wider sustainability reporting where needed.

Supports reporting aligned with GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 principles, applied consistently across sites and entities. Because SECR, ESOS and UK SRS draw on much of the same energy data, you can collect it once, calculate consistently, and produce each disclosure from the same dataset.

Everything a governed SECR process needs, in one place.

Structured Disclosure

Generate a structured SECR, ESOS and SRS disclosure covering the relevant energy use, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, intensity ratio and methodology information, for review and inclusion in your annual report. Your organisation retains responsibility for reviewing, approving and publishing it.

Aligned With GHG Protocol & ISO 14064-1

Calculations apply GHG accounting and reporting principles from the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1, against organisational and operational boundaries you define. Methodology is transparent and applied consistently.

Version-Controlled Emission Factors

DEFRA/BEIS and IPCC emission-factor sets are maintained and version-controlled by reporting year, and applied by activity and region. This keeps factor selection consistent and traceable across reporting periods.

Centralised Energy & Emissions Inventory

Move from fragmented spreadsheets to a single governed inventory. Bring in energy, fuel, fleet, refrigerant, water and waste data through uploads and structured templates, with support for additional data sources where available.

Data Approval & Sign-Off Workflows

Route submissions through review and approval with role-based permissions, so sites enter data, managers review, and the group team approves, maintaining a controlled change and approval history.

Traceable Evidence & Approvals

Link supporting evidence, invoices, meter statements or calculations, to reported figures, and maintain a controlled audit log of edits, approvals and factor versions. This provides a traceable record to support internal review and external assurance.

Data Validation & Quality Checks

Rule-based validation helps identify missing periods, inconsistent entries, potential double counting and unusual year-on-year movements, so issues can be reviewed before final reporting.

Dashboards & Performance Tracking

Dashboards show emissions by scope, site, entity and source, alongside energy intensity and trends over time, with the ability to filter by business unit and export summaries for internal reporting.

Targets & Progress Tracking

Set baselines and reduction targets and track actual performance against them over time, supporting internal progress reviews and net-zero commitments where an organisation has made them.

Support for Wider Disclosures

Reuse approved information from your energy and emissions inventory to support related disclosures, including Carbon Reduction Plans (PPN 006), and to help respond to questionnaires and benchmarks such as CDP and GRESB where applicable.

Scope 3 & Wider GHG Reporting

Beyond the core SECR requirements, apexanalytix provides additional support for Scope 3 categories, such as business travel, purchased goods and services, and commuting, for organisations undertaking wider corporate GHG reporting and preparing for UK SRS.

A Repeatable Process, Year After Year

Carry your reporting structure, boundaries and mappings forward between years, maintaining a consistent methodology while reflecting changes in your organisation and emissions. The process is repeatable without rebuilding it from the beginning.

Built for Groups & Portfolios

Consolidate multiple entities, sites and currencies into one inventory with controlled roll-ups, suitable for multi-entity groups, and for property and asset teams reporting across a portfolio.

From raw data to disclosure, in a structured process.

1

Bring Data Together

Consolidate energy, fuel, fleet and activity data into one governed inventory.

2

Calculate Consistently

Apply GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1-aligned methods with version-controlled emission factors, and run data validation checks.

3

Review & Approve

Move data through review and approval, with supporting evidence and change history retained.

4

Prepare the Disclosure

Produce structured SECR, ESOS and UK SRS disclosures from the same dataset, for review and inclusion in your reporting, ready to carry forward next year.

Supports your wider energy, carbon and sustainability reporting needs.

Use a controlled energy and emissions inventory to support SECR, and reuse approved information across other applicable reporting and disclosure requirements. These are different types of requirements and should be understood separately.

FAQ

Does the platform produce a SECR disclosure?

apexanalytix can generate a structured SECR disclosure covering the relevant energy use, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, intensity and methodology information, for review and inclusion in your annual report. Your organisation retains responsibility for reviewing, approving and publishing it.

Can the platform support assurance?

apexanalytix is designed to support assurance by retaining calculation methods, emission-factor versions, supporting evidence, review history and approvals alongside the reported data.

Do we need to replace our current approach?

No. apexanalytix can bring in your existing data and complement what you already have, moving the process into one governed workflow.

How are emission factors managed?

DEFRA/BEIS and IPCC factor sets are maintained and version-controlled by reporting year and applied consistently across reporting periods.

Does it cover Scope 3?

Core SECR reporting covers energy use and Scope 1 and 2 emissions. apexanalytix provides additional Scope 3 support for organisations undertaking wider corporate GHG reporting and preparing for upcoming UK SRS.

How does it help year on year?

Your reporting structure, boundaries and mappings can be carried forward, maintaining a consistent methodology while reflecting changes in your organisation and emissions.
