Sustainability & Environmental Reporting

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment scheme to ensure large organisations in the UK are energy efficient. Under the scheme, businesses must assess their energy usage every four years and identify clear energy-saving measures. With phase 3 qualification fast approaching in December 2022, OnlineDIRECT is on hand to support brokers and customers in collecting, quantifying, and analysing data effectively and produce auditing which meets compliance.

The UK government introduced the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) in 2019 to replace the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme to place an obligation on businesses to report their annual energy usage and carbon emissions within their Directors’ Report. From reviewing energy use and GHGs to proposing practical energy-efficient actions, OnlineDIRECT can assist by identifying the appropriate reporting frameworks and approaches that work for your customers.

ISO 50001 (International Organisation for Standardisation 50001) is a voluntary alternative to ESOS to design, implement, and maintain an effective energy management system. Organisations of all sizes can utilise ISO 50001 to assist in managing their energy consumption costs. Whether you’re seeking an alternative to ESOS for your customer, or, an energy management system to help your clients manage their energy consumption effectively, OnlineDIRECT have access to the right partners to support Brokers with a tailored plan for businesses of all sizes.
