How do I know if I qualify for ESOS Phase 4?
Organisations must comply with ESOS Phase 4 if they contain “large UK undertakings.”
A large UK undertaking is defined as one organisation that, in the financial year ending on or within the 12 months before the qualification date (31 December 2026), meets either of the following criteria:
- 250 or more employees, on average
- Annual turnover of £40 million or more AND a balance sheet total of £38 million or more
However, ESOS eligibility isn’t always straightforward. There are additional rules and technical considerations that can affect whether and how a business must comply, including group structures, financial reporting periods, ISO 50001 certification and other qualification criteria.
Because of this, determining ESOS eligibility can often require expert review to properly interpret the rules and apply them to your organisation’s structure and reporting.
