Don-Bur publishes SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) data as part of its wider approach to environmental transparency, legal compliance and continuous improvement.
SECR is a UK reporting framework that requires qualifying companies to disclose annual energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency actions within their financial reporting. It helps organisations monitor environmental impact and demonstrate the measures being taken to improve energy performance.
Don-Bur's latest published SECR data covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from sources under our control, including fuel used within our fleet and gas used for heating. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity. Emissions are reported in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e).
For the 2024 reporting year, Don-Bur reported Scope 1 emissions of 1,668 tCO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 720 tCO2e, giving total gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of 2,388 tCO2e. The previous reporting year total was 2,441 tCO2e.
The report also records total energy consumption of 11,834,428 kWh for 2024, compared with 12,107,393 kWh in 2023. Purchased electricity reduced from 4,205,398 kWh in 2023 to 3,479,479 kWh in 2024.
Energy efficiency actions reported include the gradual upgrade and replacement of lighting with LED lighting across site locations, the addition of new electric vehicles to the company fleet, and investment in large rooftop solar panel arrays across multiple sites.
Don-Bur also maintains an ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan to support ongoing energy efficiency review and improvement activities.

What does Scope 1 include?
Scope 1 includes direct emissions from sources Don-Bur controls, such as fleet fuel use and gas used for heating.
What does Scope 2 include?
Scope 2 includes indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity used by Don-Bur.
What are Scope 3 emissions?
Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions generated across a wider supply chain, such as purchased materials, transportation, waste, business travel and product use. Don-Bur's current SECR reporting focuses on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Does Don-Bur have an ESOS action plan?
Yes. Don-Bur maintains an ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan to support energy efficiency review and planning activities.
How SECR and ESOS work together
SECR and ESOS are separate UK reporting and compliance frameworks, but both support improved understanding and management of organisational energy use.
SECR focuses on annual reporting. It records energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency actions within company financial reporting. This helps organisations monitor energy performance and emissions over time.
ESOS focuses on assessment and planning. It requires qualifying organisations to review energy consumption, identify potential energy-saving opportunities and maintain an action plan for improving energy efficiency.
For Don-Bur, SECR provides the published energy and emissions data, while the ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan supports the review of practical opportunities to improve operational energy efficiency across the business.
