What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions

Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions classify greenhouse gas emissions based on their source: Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, Scope 2 includes indirect emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 accounts for all other indirect emissions across the value chain. Across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), this topic plays an increasingly important role as investors, regulators, and occupiers demand higher sustainability standards and clearer reporting. From a strategic viewpoint, Scope 1,2,3 emissions affects investment decisions, financing conditions, regulatory alignment, and operational efficiency. It helps organisations compare assets, future‑proof portfolios, and respond to ESG expectations shaping modern markets. Developers and landlords use Scope 1,2,3 emissions to guide design choices, reduce risk exposure, and enhance long‑term asset performance. Occupiers evaluate it to ensure that buildings align with corporate sustainability commitments and operational needs. By integrating Scope 1,2,3 emissions into advisory and decision‑making processes, iO Partners supports clients in navigating evolving ESG requirements, market pressures, and long‑term sustainability trends across the CEE region.
