UK SRS software: the platforms, the shortlist and the 2027 test

UK SRS software helps a company report against UK SRS S1 and S2, the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards published on 25 February 2026.

8 vendors in this site’s registry name UK SRS on their own pages; this page lists them, shows how to widen the list from ISSB tools, and sets the test a listed company should apply before its first 2027 report.

The outputs and evidence a tool must hold are on UK SRS reporting software.

Who is buying

Do you have to report UK SRS, or are you choosing to?

The answer changes the purchase: a listed company needs the comply-or-explain statement and the assurance statement; a voluntary reporter needs neither.

The rule for listed companies is PS26/19: comply or explain across UK SRS, for UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22, for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

For everyone else, the standards are published for voluntary use.

The platforms

Which platforms name UK SRS on their own pages?

8 of the 73 vendors in this site’s registry name UK SRS, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026, listed alphabetically.

The list is short because the standards were only published on 25 February 2026; each line is the vendor’s own, linked.

8 vendors, alphabetically. Each line is the vendor’s own description, linked to the page it is on.

A vendor missing from this list may still do the work: put the question to it in writing.

Widening the list

How do you build a shortlist when few vendors name UK SRS yet?

Start with the 8 vendors that name UK SRS, then add ISSB vendors you ask in writing about the UK amendments.

Tick Scope 3 in the tool beside this text: UK SRS S2 requires it after the first-year relief in ¶C4, so a tool without it will be outgrown.

Tick SECR if you also file a directors’ report energy section: the same emissions sit underneath both.

Six platforms are compared on IFRS S2 and UK SRS on IFRS and UK SRS software compared.

Your long list · from vendors’ own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026

Start: vendors whose own pages mention UK SRS (8). Tick what else the same tool must serve.

8 of 8 vendors make every claim you ticked.

Alphabetical; the order ranks nothing. A claim is what a vendor says, not a test result.

Nothing you tick is stored or sent.

One company, start to finish

What does buying look like for a calendar-year listed company?

Company E is an illustration: a calendar-year company with equity shares in UKLR 6.

Its first UK SRS period is the year beginning 1 January 2027, disclosed with its 2027 accounts under S1 ¶64.

It buys in 2026 so the 2027 data lands in the tool as it arrives, and it uses the Scope 3 relief in year one while it builds supplier data.

Its test in every demo is the comply-or-explain statement drafted from its own gaps.

In the demo

What should you ask in a UK SRS demo?

Ask first for the comply-or-explain statement, because it is what a listed company publishes about its own gaps.

Then ask for the UK SRS view, not the IFRS one, on your data.

NoA statement about it is

A listed company publishes three statements about its UK SRS reporting, set by PS26/19.

A tool that drafts them from the data, rather than leaving them to a document, is doing the part of the job that is new.

The transition plan statement applies to UKLR 6, 16 and 22 only; plans themselves are covered on UK SRS transition plans.

Frequently asked

UK SRS software, answered

What is UK SRS software?

Software that helps a company report against UK SRS S1 and S2, the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards published by the Department for Business and Trade on 25 February 2026.

What the output must contain is on our UK SRS reporting software page; this page is about choosing a product.

Which software supports UK SRS?

In this site’s registry, 8 vendors name UK SRS on their own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026.

A further 29 make an ISSB or IFRS S2 claim without naming UK SRS; ask them in writing about the UK amendments.

Is UK SRS mandatory?

No. Listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 report against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, under FCA PS26/19.

For other companies, UK SRS is voluntary.

What is the best UK SRS software?

This site has tested no product and names no best.

Choose the tool that produces the UK SRS view (not only IFRS), drafts the comply-or-explain statement from your gaps, and leaves evidence an assurer can use.

Is IFRS S2 software good enough for UK SRS?

Often close, but check.

UK SRS S1 and S2 are endorsed versions with UK amendments, so ask any IFRS tool to show the UK view on your data.

When do we need UK SRS software in place?

For a listed company, before the first period beginning on or after 1 January 2027; for a calendar-year company that is the 2027 year, reported in 2028.

The disclosures cover the same period as the financial statements and are published with them.

Does UK SRS software need to do Scope 3?

Eventually.

UK SRS S2 requires Scope 3, with a relief in the first year of application; a tool that cannot hold Scope 3 will be outgrown after that.

How much does UK SRS software cost?

Most vendors quote rather than publish.

Ask for a written quote covering entities, Scope 3 and any scenario analysis module.

Do we need assurance for UK SRS?

PS26/19 does not require assurance.

It asks the company to state whether third-party assurance was obtained and, if so, from whom, to what level and under which standard.

Can a spreadsheet do UK SRS?

For a simple group in its first year, perhaps, with the Scope 3 relief.

The narrative is written by people in any case; software earns its place on Scope 3, scenario analysis and the evidence trail.

Who owns the data in UK SRS software?

You do, with the vendor as processor under a written UK GDPR contract.
