The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy compliance initiative for large enterprises in the UK, capturing almost 12,000 organisations. With Phase 4 now underway and the first reporting deadline set for 5th December 2024, just six months after the Phase 3 deadline, businesses must adapt to the new requirements. Unlike previous phases, annual submissions to the Environment Agency (EA) are now required.
Changes to the legislative guidance have been introduced to enhance the quality of ESOS reporting and promote the implementation of recommended energy-saving measures. Companies must now establish an Action Plan and report on their progress annually. These initiatives will bolster energy efficiency narratives within the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework and help shape broader decarbonisation strategies.
The Critical Role of Data
Effective management of GHG emissions is critical for any business serious about its sustainability commitments. This is where data plays a critical role helping businesses identify, analyse, report on their emissions and energy efficiency measures.
The EP&T EDGE platform provides the necessary tools to gather accurate data, analyse emissions across the value chain, and report on the positive impacts of sustainability initiatives.
By leveraging EDGE, businesses can comply with legislative demands and play a pivotal role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, showcasing their dedication to a sustainable future.
Acting on energy-saving initiatives identified in your ESOS audit will strengthen your energy efficiency narrative within your Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) if you are in scope and help define your wider decarbonisation plans.
The landscape of emissions reporting and compliance is complex and evolving. The EP&T EDGE platform provides a comprehensive solution to these challenges head-on, empowering businesses to achieve their sustainability goals precisely and confidently.
As companies strive to demonstrate genuine environmental responsibility, EP&T Global's EDGE platform emerges as a vital tool. It equips businesses with the robust data and insights needed to comply with stringent legislation and drive impactful, informed decisions in their sustainability efforts.
