SECR support for UK organisations

Switch Neutral is part of the Switch Group, which includes CNG Switch. We do not provide assurance, verification, certification, carbon neutral certification or net zero certification. Directors remain responsible for statutory sign-off where applicable.

Framework DEFRA factors

Recognised UK conversion factors used where relevant.

Method DESNZ guidance

UK reporting context built into the methodology.

Scopes Scope 1–3

Clear categorisation across relevant emissions sources.

Disclosure SECR support

Structured support for eligible UK organisations.

Governance Evidence packs

Source data, assumptions and review trails organised.

Positioning No overclaims

No carbon neutral or net zero certification claims.

Specialist reporting support

Carbon reporting built for scrutiny, not slogans.

Many organisations are asked for emissions data by customers, procurement teams, directors, investors or annual reporting stakeholders. The risk is producing figures that look polished but are difficult to explain.

Switch Neutral focuses on reporting boundaries, source data, methodology notes and evidence packs so the final output is clearer, more consistent and easier to review.

  • Clear reporting periods, boundaries and exclusions
  • Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 classification
  • Documented assumptions and data quality notes
  • Professional outputs for board, tender and stakeholder use
