What is Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting?
SECR is a UK reporting requirement for certain companies and limited liability partnerships. It puts annual energy use, related greenhouse-gas emissions and energy-efficiency information alongside the organisation's financial reporting.
Read the current government guidanceIt is an annual disclosure
It is normally prepared alongside the annual accounts, not submitted as a separate SECR return.
The reporting position comes first
Entity type, group treatment, size history and the 40,000 kWh route can all affect what is required.
The figures need a trail
Energy totals, emissions factors, estimates and exclusions should remain understandable after the statement is drafted.
The final judgement stays with you
Carbon Verify assembles a draft for director, member, accountant or auditor review. It does not provide assurance.
The standalone reporting workspace
More useful than a blank template.
Free templates start after the difficult work is done. Carbon Verify is designed to take you from ordinary source records to a joined-up draft, while keeping every gap and judgement visible.
- ✓ Current and previous-year energy and emissions

Before you begin.
Does Carbon Verify decide whether we legally have to report?
No. The checker gives an indicative result from the answers provided, explains the basis and flags cases that need confirmation.
Does it file anything at Companies House?
No. It prepares draft wording and a supporting calculation record for review and inclusion in the appropriate annual reporting process.
Does the workspace rely on the Carbon Verify CRP tool?
No. SECR is a standalone product with its own subscription. Download a .cvw backup to reopen your SECR workspace. The CRP tool uses separate .carbonverify project files; the two are not interchangeable. For organisation footprints and Carbon Reduction Plans, Carbon Verify’s CRP tool offers separate projects and editable documents with optional branding.
Where is business data stored?
The workspace is local-first. Working records are saved in the current browser and are not sent to Carbon Verify. Download a portable backup before changing device or clearing browser data.
How does the annual licence work?
After purchase, Lemon Squeezy emails your licence key. Enter that key and the purchase email in the app to unlock this browser. The subscription renews annually and can be managed or cancelled through the Lemon Squeezy customer portal.
