Calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions on DEFRA factors, then use the same dataset for SECR, ESOS, UK SRS S2 and CSRD. One measurement effort, every disclosure your directors have to sign.
Carbon accounting software measures your greenhouse gas emissions across direct operations, purchased energy and the value chain, then turns that measurement into the disclosures UK regulation asks for.
In practice, that means connecting activity data from meters and fleet systems, alongside spend, invoice and supplier data from finance and procurement systems. It applies the appropriate emission factor to each activity for UK emissions reporting, this commonly includes the UK Government’s annual greenhouse gas conversion factors published by DESNZ and maintains an audit trail behind every reported figure, allowing the information to be traced back to its source data, calculation methodology and supporting evidence.
Credibl covers Scope 1, 2 and 3 on GHG Protocol methodology, with SECR, ESOS, UK SRS S2, CSRD and CDP outputs drawn from the same underlying dataset.
Most UK companies are not doing carbon accounting once. They are doing it repeatedly, in slightly different shapes, for people who ask slightly different questions.
SECR wants UK energy use and Scope 1 and 2 in the Directors’ Report, with an intensity ratio. ESOS wants energy consumption analysed across buildings, transport and industrial processes. UK SRS S2 wants climate disclosures structured the way the FCA is proposing to require them from January 2027. A parent company in the EU wants ESRS E1 figures on their timetable. A public sector buyer wants a Carbon Reduction Plan before they will let you bid.
When each of those lives in its own spreadsheet, the numbers drift. Someone spots that the SECR figure and the CDP submission disagree, and the finance team spends three weeks working out which one is wrong.
Credibl holds one emissions dataset and reports from it. The disclosure changes shape. The underlying number does not.
Emission factors decide your answer. A UK entity applying US grid averages to a Birmingham manufacturing site produces a number no assurance provider will accept.
Credibl’s Emission Factors Hub carries DEFRA alongside EPA, IPCC, Exiobase, IEA and industry-specific datasets, with both spend-based and activity-based factors. Every factor carries its source and vintage, so when DEFRA publishes its June update, you can see exactly which calculations moved and why.
A completed inventory tells you where you stand. It does not tell you what to do next. Credibl breaks the footprint down by site, business unit, supplier and category so you can see which parts of the organisation carry the weight, then model what happens if you change them.
The reporting layer is where multi-framework work either saves time or wastes it. Credibl maps each figure once, then reuses it wherever it is needed. Change a restated prior year and every disclosure drawing on it updates together.
Financed emissions sit in Scope 3 Category 15, and for a financial institution they usually dwarf everything else. Credibl calculates them under PCAF methodology across asset classes, at loan and holding level, with the data quality scoring PCAF requires.
Credit, risk and sustainability teams work from the same portfolio view, which matters when the FCA asks how your climate disclosures connect to your lending decisions.
Carbon accounting has a lot of unglamorous middle: chasing a site manager for a gas reading, matching 4,000 procurement lines to emission factors, checking whether last quarter’s anomaly was real.
Your team reviews decisions. It stops doing data entry.
Collects and validates activity data across sites and suppliers.
Cleans, maps and interrogates the activity data behind every figure.
Runs the emissions calculations and DEFRA factor matching.
Drafts the disclosure narrative around your reviewed figures.
Runs the checks before anything goes to assurance.
“The Credibl team did a great job with the platform. It gave us important insights that we were missing, and helped us set our sustainability priorities and make the well-informed business decision to reduce our ESG footprint.”
