Estimated scope 3 emissions (tonne CO2e/yr) - Vehicle Level

Topic: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) | Field Level: Vehicle | Label: ghg_emissions_estimated_scope_3_emissions | Indicator ID: ESG3.3.8

Industry Mapping: GRESB Real Estate Standard and Reference Guide (2025), EPRA sBPR Guidelines 2024, CRREM V2 (2024), GRI Standards 2021, CSRD, RICS ESG Data List for Real Estate Valuations (2024)

In the absence of actual data, scope 3 emissions can be estimated based on building characteristics and publicly available data using commercial databases - see PCAF, and/or linear extrapolation could be applied - see CRREM (ref: GRESB). In case estimation is used, a fund manager shall specify in the comment box how the calculations were done, and which critical assumptions were made.

Estimate Scope 3 emissions from operational energy use in tenant-controlled areas. For the treatment of estimated underlying energy data, see ESG3.3.6 and the relevant ESG3.1 energy-estimation guidance.

Note 1: For emission-factor selection and disclosure, see ESG3.3.

Note 2: Clearly document the estimation method, data sources, and assumptions to ensure transparency and comparability over time.

Note 3: Do not include embodied carbon; report this separately under ESG4.3 (recommended).
