UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements
The UK SDR is the UK government's framework for sustainability-related disclosures, anticipated to build on and eventually replace SECR. While the framework is still being developed, Climatise is prepared to support compliance as soon as requirements are finalised.
Who needs to comply
Expected to cover large UK companies, extending to smaller entities over time.
The exact scope and thresholds will be confirmed when the UK government finalises the framework. Climatise will update the platform as requirements are published.

Frequently asked questions
UK SDR (UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements) is the UK government's developing framework for mandatory sustainability-related disclosures. It is expected to align with ISSB standards (IFRS S1 and S2) with UK-specific modifications, and will likely replace or extend the current SECR requirements.
The timeline is not yet finalised. The UK government has signalled a phased introduction starting from 2026-2027, with larger companies and listed entities likely to be the first in scope. Climatise monitors all developments and will update the platform accordingly.
UK SDR is expected to be significantly broader than SECR. While SECR focuses on energy use and Scope 1 & 2 emissions, UK SDR is anticipated to require full climate-related financial disclosures including governance, strategy, risk management, metrics & targets, and potentially Scope 3 emissions — aligned with the ISSB framework.
