Emissions from downstream leased assets (operating or financial lease) occur as a result of the use of assets (such as vehicles or equipment) that your organisation leases or rents out to other parties. For instance, if you lease out vehicles, this category accounts for the use of those vehicles. These emissions are generated downstream from your operations but are still considered part of your carbon footprint.
⚠️ We currently support calculating emissions from rented or leased combustion-engine and electric vehicles which may not cover your downstream leased assets emissions to the full extent. This is reflected in the calculation methods available.
Downstream Leased Assets emissions are Scope 3 emissions.
