We recognise that there is an administrative and financial burden to emissions reporting. As set out in the Call for Evidence ‘Towards a market for low emissions industrial products’, we are exploring options we could take to reduce the volume and burden of new requirements, and whether any additional steps could be taken to support small and medium-sized enterprises. Building on the evidence submitted to the Call for Evidence, we are preparing to consult on a range of domestic measures, including emissions reporting and disclosure by the end of 2022.
