What does D.19-D.21 require?

What goes into the annual report can also be dictated by regulation, legislation, policy and, where fitting, private sector best practice, and it falls to each reporting entity to identify those further requirements for itself. This guidance calls for disclosure of material topics and information in the annual report context, for instance effects on strategic objectives, and the other commitment metrics and targets may help meet that call. Defra's environmental KPI guidance can help in choosing indicators, and reporting on whatever other KPIs are material to meeting the body's strategic policy objectives is mandatory on a comply-or-explain basis.

Other controls in Chapter 5 and Annexes A to D: TCFD-aligned disclosure, UN SDG policies, materiality of other topics, sustainable procurement, nature recovery, and the differences from GGC reporting (paragraphs 5.1 to 5.17, A.1 to D.21) – UK HM Treasury Sustainability Reporting Guidance 2026-27 (FReM)

5.11-5.12 Sustainable procurement: where material, report the systems in place and the action taken to buy sustainably, including the steps taken to embed the Government Buying Standards in contracts and to understand and reduce supply chain impacts and risks
5.13-5.16 Nature recovery and biodiversity: where the body holds significant natural capital or landholdings, signpost the Natural Capital Plan or Nature Recovery Plan and report performance against it in the annual report, and report biodiversity considerations in projects and programmes where material
5.4-5.6 TCFD-aligned disclosure: provide climate-related financial disclosures in the annual report in line with the TCFD Application Guidance on a comply-or-explain basis, consulting that guidance on which recommendations apply, with the emissions element handled under Chapter 2
5.7-A.16 UN Sustainable Development Goals: name the significant policies pursued on sustainability or environmental matters as the FReM requires, give a short description of each policy or a link to its specific GOV.UK page, and identify where activities contribute to relevant SDGs
5.8-5.10 Other material topics: assess whether further sustainability topics are material to primary users across the value chain and sphere of influence, report them on a comply-or-explain basis, and optionally add sections on how strategy delivery depends on economic, environmental and social factors and on influence through procurement and public policy
D.14-D.17 Transmission and distribution losses: no recalculation or separate categorisation is required because the factors include them, and an organisation that chooses to separate the losses should not impair users' ability to track performance against the commitment targets
D.5-D.8 Additional Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions not measured under the GGCs, such as other fugitive releases and overseas operations: disclose them disaggregated from the Scope 1 and 2 totals assessed against commitment targets, calculated with a widely recognised independent standard where no government factor or method exists
D.9-D.11 Nitrogen trifluoride: report NF3 emissions where material, since the Climate Change Act GHG definition now includes it even though the current GGC commitments do not
