Documents
Details
If your company needs to add multiple subsidiaries to an EPR for packaging account, you can use this CSV template.
You must have an EPR for packaging online account to use this template. Find out more about EPR for packaging.
You can also create your own CSV files, but do not change the structure shown in the template.
Make sure that:
- the headers are identical to those in the template
- your spreadsheet software saves it as a CSV - you will not be able to upload other kinds of spreadsheet file, for example Excel바카라 사이트s .xls or .xlsx formats
Find out more about CSV files. The guidance about CSV files is aimed at government employees, but the sections from 바카라 사이트Setting up your CSV file바카라 사이트 onwards contain useful general information.
How to complete the file
Put the parent company on one row. Leave the 바카라 사이트subsidiary_id바카라 사이트 column blank on this row.
Underneath that, put each subsidiary you wish to add to that parent on a new row.
Complete the first 5 columns for each subsidiary where possible. There are 2 exceptions:
- the 바카라 사이트subsidiary_id바카라 사이트 column should be blank if this subsidiary has not been submitted before
- only use the final column 바카라 사이트franchisee_licensee_tenant바카라 사이트 if the subsidiary is one of these - otherwise, leave it blank
If you are a compliance scheme uploading subsidiaries for multiple parent organisations, repeat for each parent with a subsidiary or subsidiaries. You can upload all parents and subsidiaries in one file or can separate into multiple uploads.Â
You only need to add a subsidiary once. You do not need to include it in any files you use to add further subsidiaries in future.
The example file shows you how to complete the CSV.
Column names and details

The identification number assigned to the parent organisation when they created an account. This is 6 figures long. Do not include any spaces. Use on every line for that parent and any of its subsidiaries.
subsidiary_id

Use the same unique ID for a subsidiary across all packaging and organisation data submissions. If the group has not reported the subsidiary before, leave blank. Leave blank on the parent company line.

Give the full 8 digits. If there are leading zeroes, include them. Add 바카라 사이트 at the start if you are using Excel or similar spreadsheet software, for example 바카라 사이트00123456. This forces it to include the zeroes.
