Total carbon emissions - location based (tonne CO2e/yr) - Vehicle Level

Topic: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) | Field Level: Vehicle | Label: ghg_emissions_total_carbon_emissions_location_based | Indicator ID: ESG4.3.1

Industry Mapping: SFDR PAI, GRESB Real Estate Standard and Reference Guide (2025), EPRA sBPR Guidelines 2024, GRI Standards 2021, CSRD, TCFD (2021), PCAF

Total location-based scope 1, 2, 3 emissions covering both estimated and actual data. Total carbon emissions cover both operational activities and embodied carbon of the portfolio of the vehicle. Location-based method quantifies Scope 2 GHG emissions based on average energy generation emission factors for defined locations, including local, subnational, or national boundaries (ref: GHG Protocol, “Scope 2 Guidance”, Glossary, 2015).

This indicator aggregates all relevant operational and embodied carbon emissions to provide a complete portfolio-level footprint.

It includes:

Operational emissions: Total operational carbon - location based (ESG3.3.9), including both actual and estimated Scope 1, Scope 2 location-based and Scope 3 emissions.

Embodied emissions: As defined in ESG4.3.

This indicator is one of the six environmental factors considered most relevant for underwriting (see INREV (2025) Integrating environmental considerations in real estate underwriting paper).

Note 1: If data coverage is partial or any scope is excluded, explain the reason and its potential impact on results.

Note 2: This metric supports full carbon footprint reporting for alignment with net zero targets, regulatory compliance (eg CSRD/ESRS), and transition risk analysis.
