Scope 3.13 - missions resulting from the use of assets that your company rents or leases to other companies or individuals

Scope 3.13 emissions include the indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of assets that your company rents or leases to other companies or individuals. These emissions occur when the leased assets are used by tenants or lessees, while your company remains the owner.

Examples of Scope 3.13 Emissions:

• Emissions generated from the use of vehicles that your company leases to customers.
• Emissions from the use of machinery or equipment that your company rents out.
• Emissions from the operation of real estate (e.g., office buildings or production facilities) that your company leases to third parties.

Relevant Activities for Scope 3.13 Emissions:

To identify your company’s Scope 3.13 emissions, you should examine the following activities and areas:

• Leasing of vehicles: Renting or leasing vehicles such as cars, trucks, or vans to other companies or individuals who use these vehicles for their own purposes.
• Leasing of machinery and equipment: Renting or leasing industrial machinery, production equipment, or other tools used by other companies.
• Renting real estate: Leasing office space, warehouses, production facilities, or other real estate used by third parties.
• Usage by third parties: Analyzing the energy and resource usage by the lessees or tenants to estimate the associated emissions.

Where Can I Find Data on My Scope 3.13 Emissions?

Collecting Scope 3.13 emissions data can come from various sources:

• Leasing contracts: Detailed contracts for the leasing or renting of assets, which may include information on usage and energy consumption.
• Reports from lessees: Data and reports from lessees or tenants on the energy consumption and use of the rented assets, which can be used to calculate emissions.
• Energy supplier invoices: Invoices for the energy consumption of leased properties or equipment used by tenants.
• Industry-specific emissions factors: Use of industry-wide emissions factors to estimate the emissions from leased assets when direct data is not available.
