Compliance and Auditing
Energy compliance and auditing services are critical for organisations seeking to meet regulatory standards, optimise energy efficiency, and reduce their environmental impact. smart net zero services involve a systematic review of energy use and management practices to ensure compliance with legal and industry requirements, such as ISO 50001, ESOS, and SECR in the UK. By identifying inefficiencies, non-compliance risks, and opportunities for improvement, energy audits empower organisations to adopt sustainable practices, cut costs, and enhance operational performance. With a focus on both immediate and long-term benefits, energy compliance and auditing services play a key role in driving energy resilience and supporting the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
What problem are we addressing?
We recognise that there is a complex regulatory landscape out there and navigating these diverse and evolving regulations can be very challenging with some industries having their own unique compliance requirements.
​
We know that skills are short and in-demand for this area and data can be inconsistent and incomplete making it even more resource intensive unless you have access to and are able to properly analyse the data. This includes the challenge of integrating with legacy systems and/or implementing new technologies to provide the required output for analysis.
​
There are also tight deadlines for compliance reporting as well as potentially highly complex audit requirements with some from your customers - all of which typically requires expert assistance.
Overcoming the challenges
We have a dedicated expert team involved in assisting with all your energy and sustainability compliance and auditing requirements. At smart net zero we understand the need to properly leverage technology such as energy monitoring tools and provide tailored solutions to your needs. We also know how to focus on delivering enhanced ROI through actionable cost-saving activities driven by data insight. We understand the benefits of educating and driving awareness through training and also collaboration where we can foster open and honest communications at all levels.

Our services to you
-
ESOS consultancy - ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for applicable organisations in the UK. The scheme requires the recording and reporting of energy data for buildings, transportation, and industrial processes. Furthermore, energy surveys are required, which must be accompanied by cost-effective recommendations to reduce energy demand and improve energy efficiency. All evidence must be signed off by an accredited ESOS Lead Assessor. Our ESOS lead assessors have supported many clients through ESOS Phases 1, 2, and 3 with significant identified savings.
-
SECR compliance - Over 11,900 organisations in the UK must comply with SECR by reporting energy usage and carbon emissions in their annual financial report. Through SECR reporting, large organisations are able to take significant actions towards reducing their carbon footprint and enhancing their energy efficiency. We are able to take you through the SECR carbon reporting journey and ensure legal compliance.
-
ISO 50001 consultancy - ISO 50001 certification empowers an auditable energy management system for organisations. It drives continuous improvement, substantial energy cost savings, reduced compliance obligations and boosted environmental credentials which are just a few of the benefits of ISO 50001. We can provide a comprehensive and step-by-step approach to achieve certification.
-
CSRD reporting compliance - Nearly 50,000 companies across Europe and globally will be subject to the corporate sustainability reporting directive. The CSRD compliance process introduces a new level of rigour in ESG reporting, requiring companies to provide auditable and verified data. This is a crucial shift, as ESG-related data must now be independently evaluated by a third-party auditor or consultant, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. We have the experience to ensure you are compliant.
Supporting global sustainable development
At the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were created by the United Nations in 2015 to provide common, achievable aspirations which act as a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”.
In 2017, these Sustainable Development Goals were made more “actionable”, with specific targets set for each one in a UN Resolution adopted by the General Assembly. The resolution identifies more detailed targets for each goal – with a general ambition to achieve the desired outcomes by 2030. Working closely with our partners and our clients , we strive to transform society together, by using our knowledge and skills to develop industries, construction, energy systems, infrastructure and many other parts of society in line with the 17 UNSDGs.
