When is the SECR deadline in 2026?

SECR isn't filed separately — it sits inside the directors' report, which is part of a company's annual accounts. The deadline is therefore the standard Companies House accounts-filing deadline: nine months after the accounting reference date for private companies, six months for public companies, under Companies Act 2006 section 442.

What is the SECR reporting threshold?

Three categories of organisation are in scope. Quoted companies are in scope by virtue of being quoted, with no size test. Large unquoted companies and large LLPs qualify if they meet at least two of three Companies Act 2006 size tests in the financial year: turnover of £36 million or more, balance sheet total of £18 million or more, or 250 or more employees on average over the year.

How does SECR interact with UK SRS?

SECR remains in force as of May 2026 alongside the new UK Sustainability Reporting Standards published 25 February 2026 by DBT. UK SRS S2 (climate disclosures) becomes proposed mandatory from 1 January 2027 for approximately 515 primary-listed companies. For the great majority of SECR-scope organisations — large unquoted companies and LLPs — UK SRS is not yet a direct obligation.
