Why Verify Your GHG Emissions for CSRD Compliance?

SECR requires large UK companies and LLPs to disclose their annual energy use and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in their Directors’ Report.

While independent verification is not mandatory under SECR, it is strongly recommended to ensure the accuracy and credibility of your disclosures.

Verified data reduces the risk of misreporting, enhances transparency, and supports your ESG narrative.

With increasing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and the public, verified SECR data helps demonstrate your commitment to environmental responsibility.
