Question 1

TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)

Accepted Answer

Visit our full TCFD page at: https://www.energise.com/tcfd  Set up as a result of the 2015 climate negotiations, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) is a working group with a record of creating disclosures that companies can use to demonstrate climate resilience, and thus increase their investment opportunities.   The key target audience for these recommendations are investors and private equity partners, who will be benefit from a toolkit to measure whether the climate-related risk has been priced in to the valuation of companies appropriately. However, only half of the current participants stem from the finance & banking industries, as more and more sectors are waking up to the value of the scheme.    To help you digest the report published by the TCFD, we've summarised the 11 recommended disclosures across its four key elements (Governance, Strategy, Risk Management and Metrics + Targets).

Question 2

CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project)

Accepted Answer

Disclosure helps you get ahead of regulatory and policy changes, identify and tackle growing risks, and find new opportunities for action that your investors and customers worldwide are demanding. All submitted data provides support for shareholder engagement action, while investors will use it to assess the carbon footprint of their portfolio. CDP’s climate questionnaires are also fully aligned with the TCFD recommendations.   Energise is an official CDP accredited solutions provider. You can read all about our approach to CDP here.

Question 4

SECR (for Quoted and Unquoted companies)

Accepted Answer

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) is the UK’s answer to aggregating the various energy and carbon reporting schemes that have existed in recent years.   SECR Compliance is required by all UK quoted companies and registered businesses that meet two or more of the following criteria within the reporting period: More than 250 employees A balance sheet greater than £18m A turnover greater than £36m Quoted companies need to report all Scope 1 emissions (on-site combustion) and all Scope 2 emissions (purchased energy). Unquoted companies need to report limited Scope 1 emissions (gas and company transport fuel), limited Scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity) and limited Scope 3 emissions (business mileage).

Question 5

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Embodied Carbon Analysis

Accepted Answer

Operational carbon is a great starting point for reducing carbon and achieving results in engagement, but we must not ignore emissions related to the rest of the lifecycle stages of products, good and services.  We help our customers understand the environmental impact of their outputs' entire lives by auditing the full process of pre and post-production, from planning to delivery and disposal.

Question 7

Energy and Carbon Surveys and Audits

Accepted Answer

The purpose of Energy and Carbon Audits is to identify opportunities alongside our Pathway to Net Zero approach. As part of the audits, we will review the usage data, model the building/transport/process and identify opportunities for reducing energy usage/carbon impact, consider options for low-carbon and renewable generation and calculated the remaining carbon impact for offsetting.

Question 10

PAS2060 Carbon Neutrality Support

Accepted Answer

Achieving PAS2060 Carbon Neutral certification requires your business to measure your carbon footprint including GHG Protocol scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, develop a carbon management plan on how to reduce emissions and offset the remaining through approved methods, and achieve an overall emission reduction year-on-year.

Question 11

Management Information Reporting (Budgets, Accruals)"

Accepted Answer

Our Management Information Reporting service utilises invoice and HH data available to set energy budgets at a site, area and group level and then to report against those budgets in line with your internal reporting calendar. Using data from previous years, we are able to analyse the consumption trends to determine a suitable budget to set for each site, area and the group. Working alongside an energy reduction program, we can also include targets in our reporting, so that sites and areas can be engaged to reduce their energy spend year-on-year.

Question 14

Climate Change Agreements (CCAs)

Accepted Answer

Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) provide high energy intensity industries with a way to receive a tax break in exchange for meeting a target to reduce their energy usage in line with an agreed industry target. CCAs allow you to achieve a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) applied to your organisation’s energy invoices. The discount provides you with a significant cost saving.
