Carbon Compliance Consultancy UK: SECR, PPN 006 & ESG Reporting

By Frazer Holroyd · 11 min read · Carbon Reporting · February 2026

The UK carbon compliance landscape has become increasingly complex. Multiple overlapping frameworks — SECR, PPN 006, TCFD, and supply chain ESG requirements — create confusion about what's mandatory, what's voluntary, and what's commercially necessary. Carbon compliance consultancy helps businesses navigate this complexity.

Key UK Carbon Compliance Frameworks

SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting): Mandatory for large UK companies. Requires Scope 1 and 2 emissions, energy consumption in kWh, intensity ratios, and year-on-year comparisons in the Directors' Report.

PPN 006 (formerly PPN 06/21): Mandatory for government/NHS contracts over £5 million. Requires a published Carbon Reduction Plan with Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3 emissions.

TCFD: Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Required for large quoted companies and financial institutions. Covers climate risk assessment and strategy.

Risks of Non-Compliance

SECR: regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage. PPN 006: automatic tender disqualification — lost contracts. TCFD: institutional investors increasingly exclude non-disclosing companies.
