Built for UK manufacturers and contractors doing SECR and PPN 06/21 without a sustainability team.
Most UK manufacturers with 250–500 employees are filing SECR reports built on manually maintained spreadsheets. The data is hard to defend, the methodology is rarely traceable, and the Finance Director signing the document often cannot fully explain the numbers.
Spreadsheets typically use road distances or estimates for flights. DEFRA requires a specific methodology. If your statutory filing uses the wrong method, the number is wrong — and it is signed.
An auditor asks how you calculated the number. A spreadsheet gives them a total. CarbonTrack gives them the full working for every single entry — distance, factor, formula, result. One of those answers passes an audit. One does not.
DEFRA updates its GHG conversion factors every year. Many companies are still using older factors in current filings. Using the wrong factor year in a statutory document is a factual error — regardless of intent.
A Carbon Reduction Plan that cannot be verified by procurement is grounds for automatic disqualification. You lose the bid — not because your emissions are too high, but because the data behind them cannot be checked.
Employees log trips as they happen. Origin, destination, transport mode. Google Places ensures clean location data. Takes 45 seconds per trip.
CarbonTrack applies the correct DEFRA 2025 factor for every transport mode. Haversine for flights. Distance Matrix for road and rail. No manual lookups.
Every calculation is stored permanently. Trip, distance, factor, formula, result. Every line. Every entry. Undeletable. Auditor-ready on demand.
One click generates your SECR-compliant report or PPN 06/21 Carbon Reduction Plan. DEFRA badge. Formula appendix. Director signature block. Ready to submit.
You are in finance, operations, or compliance at a UK manufacturer or contractor. SECR reporting is a legal requirement but it is not your only job. There is no sustainability team. There is a spreadsheet and a deadline.
Year-end. You're pulling 12 months of receipts, fuel cards, and flight emails. The spreadsheet is a mess.
Bidding season. Government contracts require a verified Carbon Reduction Plan. You need it now.
Mid-year. The right time to get the system in place before the next reporting cycle begins.
Planning season. Lock in the system for next year so you're not scrambling again in Q1.
External auditors charge £150–£300/hour to verify carbon data. At £450/month, CarbonTrack makes every calculation self-verifiable — the auditor checks the work, they do not reconstruct it.
A full SECR audit typically takes 4–8 hours of auditor time. That is £1,200–£2,400 per year. Against that, £450/month is not a software cost. It is risk mitigation.
