• Total annual energy usage (kWh) for the reporting year​

• Comparative data from the previous reporting year(s), where applicable

​

3. Emissions Intensity Ratios

​​​

• At least one emissions intensity ratio must be disclosed (e.g., tonnes of CO₂e per employee or per £m turnover)

• The methodologies used to calculate emissions and intensity ratios must be clearly outlined to ensure transparency and consistency

 

4. Energy Efficiency Measures

​

• A narrative statement describing any energy efficiency improvements or initiatives undertaken during the reporting period
