The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) - what do I need to do?

The CRC is a mandatory scheme that carries significant civil penalties for non-compliance and many financial, reputational and strategic challenges for the participants.

If your organisation qualifies for the CRC scheme, the following checklist will help you understand the things you should be considering and the questions you should be able to answer now:

What is my CRC organisational and reporting structure?
How will I manage the CRC liability of my rented or leased properties and manage energy consumption and reporting in these locations?
Do my estates team and energy manager understand the CRC's challenges and timelines?
Does my finance manager understand the financial impact and budgetary requirements of the CRC scheme? (See: How much will CRC cost?)
What is my organisation’s total carbon footprint and can I accurately identify and report my CRC specific emissions?
Can I collect, model and forecast my CRC emissions throughout the year to manage my CRC liabilities, opportunities and risks?
How will I be positioned on the CRC league table and how do I optimise this position (see: The CRC league table)?
What are my carbon abatement and early action opportunities?
What is my CRC allowance trading strategy?
Which director will be responsible for CRC?
