The Regulatory Pressure
For UK & EU
ESOS Phase 4
Mandatory energy audits for facilities management portfolios. Covers all energy use: landlord supply, common areas, fleet and relevant third-party services. Fines up to £1m for non-compliance; auditor fees £50-200k+. Requires identification of cost-effective efficiency measures.
SECR
Mandatory when 250+ employees or £36m+ turnover, or £18m+ balance sheet. Report annual Scope 1-2 emissions in Directors’ Report. Deadline aligned with accounts filing (EOY). Non-compliance leads to: audit failure, governance risk, reputational damage. Fines up to £1M.
For Australia
NGER
Requires mandatory Scope 1 and 2 reporting to the Clean Energy Regulator for organisations that exceed either 50kt CO2e or 200TJ of energy at the group level. This reporting must be completed annually and also feeds into ASRS S2 disclosures. Failure to comply can result in audit issues and remediation costs ranging from $20k to $100k.
NABERS/ GBCA Audits
Requires mandatory energy ratings for commercial buildings over 1,000m² (NABERS). Portfolio audits target 5-star ratings, with fees ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per site. Compliance is essential for leases and finance, and it identifies efficiency measures like lighting and HVAC.
“We spend more time chasing data than cutting emissions"
"Reporting eats our time - we need data for action, not admin"
Before CarbonView
The data is scattered: 800+ sites (leases, meters, sub-meters, service contracts) where manual collection takes weeks
Have historically not been able to track Scope 3 suppliers without gaps which create audit delays
Have had grant and tender bids held up without verified baselines
The Cost of Inaction
Staff Costs
Manual data tracking, assembly, and reporting—every single year. With CarbonView, that coordinator reclaims time for strategy.
Audit Risk
£20-30k+ in remedial audit fees if SECR/ESOS submission flawed
Opportunity Cost
Delayed bid submissions → funding or contracts go unaccessed
Reputational
Late/incomplete submissions damage credibility with tenants and investors
