Making SECR compliance accessible to all
We believe every UK business should have access to the knowledge and tools they need to comply with carbon reporting requirements, regardless of budget.
Our mission
When the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations came into effect, thousands of UK businesses found themselves required to report their carbon emissions for the first time. Many turned to expensive consultants, paying £15,000 to £25,000 for reports that were often based on simple calculations.
We started ComplyCarbon with a simple belief: understanding your carbon footprint and meeting your legal obligations shouldn't require an expensive consultant. The methodology is standardised, the calculations are straightforward, and the information should be accessible to everyone.
That's why we provide comprehensive, free resources to help UK businesses understand SECR requirements, calculate their emissions, and file compliant reports. Our guides, tools, and blog posts cover everything from the basics of carbon reporting to advanced topics like Scope 3 emissions and industry-specific guidance.

Our values
Everything we do is guided by these principles.
Accessibility
Compliance information should be free and available to everyone. We don't gatekeep knowledge behind paywalls or consultancy fees.
Accuracy
All our guides follow official UK Government methodology and GHG Protocol standards. We cite our sources and keep information up to date.
Simplicity
Carbon reporting doesn't need to be complicated. We break down complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance.
Why is everything free?
We believe that environmental compliance is too important to be locked behind expensive consulting fees. When businesses can't access clear guidance on their legal obligations, everyone loses – companies face unnecessary risks, and the environment suffers from less transparency.
Our free resources are made possible through our premium compliance service. For businesses who want to save time, our automated platform can generate Companies House-ready reports in minutes rather than weeks. This service funds our free educational content, creating a sustainable model where everyone benefits.
Whether you use our free guides to handle compliance yourself, or choose our automated, paid service, you'll have the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. That's the way it should be.
