The Regulatory Pressure
For UK & EU
ESOS Phase 4
Mandatory energy audits for large manufacturers. Covers all energy use: Buildings, fleet, third-party suppliers. Compliance is due by 5th June 2026, with fines up to £1m for non-compliance, with auditor fees from £50k to £200k+. Requires identification of cost-effective efficiency measures.
Supply Chain Scope 3 & Tender Risk
Government contracts (>£5m) demand Carbon Reduction Plans with Scope 1, 2 &3 disclosure. Only 6% of manufacturers track Scope 3 adequately. Missing supplier data delays bids, costs £200–500k+ in lost contracts annually.
SECR
Mandatory when 250+ employees or £36m+ turnover, or £18m+ balance sheet. Report annual Scope 1 & 2 emissions in the Directors’ Report. Deadline aligned with accounts filing (EOY). Non-compliance leads to: audit failure, governance risk, and reputational damage. Fines up to £1m.
For Australia
ASRS S2
ASRS S2 will apply from 2026/27 and requires Scope 1, 2, and 3 disclosures, including scenario analysis. Non-compliance may result in fines of up to $15 million or 10% of turnover, as well as assurance costs of approximately $50k to $200k.
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.
“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: 10+ sites (factories, warehouses) 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
