Sustainability credentials are no longer a ‘nice to have’, they’re becoming a must and we all know about the importance of “musts” in the academy trust sector!
And with the advent of a new Charities SORP from 1 January 2026 and the inevitable adoption of this into the Academies Accounts Direction for academy trusts for the 31 August 2027 year end, the focus on impact and sustainability reporting will increase again.
As well as being able to advise organisations their ESG processes and reporting or help with calculating their carbon footprint, Cooper Parry’s sustainability team have also now got you covered when it comes to your Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) obligations.
All academy trusts that meet the SECR large company criteria are required to report under SECR, unless they qualify as low energy users. So, if your trust is struggling with its current SECR reporting process, then we can help you. No more juggling various third-party providers or worrying about compliance deadlines.
By choosing CP for your SECR, you’ll get end-to-end support from our specialists, seamless integration with your existing reporting and statutory audit processes, and actionable insights to drive energy efficiency and your sustainability goals.
