Introduction
This volume is part of the Industry-based Guidance on Implementing IFRS S2 Climate-related
Disclosures. This guidance suggests possible ways to apply some of the disclosure requirements in
IFRS S2 but does not create additional requirements.
This volume suggests possible ways to identify, measure and disclose information about
climate-related risks and opportunities that are associated with particular business
climate-related risks and opportunities that are associated with particular business
models, economic activities and other common features that characterise participation in
this industry.
This industry-based guidance has been derived from Sustainability Accounting Standards
Board (SASB) Standards, which are maintained by the International Sustainability
Standards Board (ISSB). The metric codes used in SASB Standards have been included for
Standards Board (ISSB). The metric codes used in SASB Standards have been included for

Volume 64—Car Rental & Leasing
Industry Description
Entities in this industry rent or lease passenger vehicles to customers. Consumers
typically rent vehicles for periods of less than a month, whereas leases may last a year or
more. The industry includes car-sharing business models in which rentals are measured
hourly and typically include subscription fees. Car rental entities operate out of airport
locations, which serve business and leisure travellers, and out of neighbourhood
locations, which serve business and leisure travellers, and out of neighbourhood
locations, which mostly provide repair-shop and weekend rentals. The industry is
concentrated, with several dominant market players, who operate globally using a
franchise model. The growth of public transit and ride-sharing services in major
metropolitan areas may represent a threat to the long-term profitability of the Car Rental
metropolitan areas may represent a threat to the long-term profitability of the Car Rental
& Leasing industry if customers choose to hail rides or take public transit rather than
rent vehicles.

By providing fuel-efficient and alternative fuel vehicles, car rental and leasing entities
may improve the environmental sustainability of their operations while also achieving
financial benefits. Consumer demand for more efficient vehicles is growing, motivated by
both environmental stewardship and lower operating costs associated with fuel
both environmental stewardship and lower operating costs associated with fuel

urban settings, car sharing is an attractive alternative to vehicle ownership that reduces
congestion and the environmental impacts associated with private ownership of vehicles.
By maximising fleet utilisation rates through car-sharing, entities may improve
operational efficiency.
Metrics
TR-CR-410a.1. Rental day-weighted average rental fleet fuel economy, by region
1
The entity shall disclose the average fuel economy of its passenger vehicle rental
1
The entity shall disclose the average fuel economy of its passenger vehicle rental
fleet, weighted for the rental days of each vehicle model during the reporting
period, by geographic region.
1.1
The average fuel economy shall be calculated as the rental day-weighted
harmonic mean of vehicle fuel efficiency.
1.1.1
The harmonic mean is calculated as the reciprocal of the average of
the reciprocals.
1.1.2
Rental day weighting is performed by incorporating into
the reciprocals.
1.1.2
Rental day weighting is performed by incorporating into
calculations a factor for the fraction of total rental days for which
each vehicle model accounted.
2
The entity shall disclose the average fuel economy of its passenger vehicle rental
fleet by geographic region.
2.1
Geographic regions are defined as the regions for which the entity
conducts segment financial reporting and which are subject to fleet fuel
economy, fuel consumption or emissions standards.
3
economy, fuel consumption or emissions standards.

Grams of CO2 per kilometre (gCO2/km) for (1) passenger cars and (2) light
commercial vehicles in the European Union
3.2
Litres of petrol per kilometre (L/km) for passenger vehicles in Japan
3.3
Miles per gallon (mpg) for (1) domestic passenger cars, (2) imported
passenger cars and (3) light trucks in the US that are subject to Corporate
passenger cars and (3) light trucks in the US that are subject to Corporate
Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, where these vehicle categories
are defined in US 49 CFR Part 523
3.4
Kilometres per litre (km/L) for passenger vehicles in New Zealand
4
The scope of disclosure shall include all vehicles subject to national passenger
vehicle standards for fleet fuel economy, fuel consumption or emissions.
5
The entity may disclose fleet fuel economy for other vehicle segments such as:
5.1

TR-CR-410a.2. Fleet utilisation rate
1
The entity shall disclose its fleet utilisation rate.
1.1
The rate shall be calculated as the total number of rental days divided by
the total number of available rental days.
1.1.1
Rental days are defined as the number of 24-hour periods—or
portions thereof—that vehicles were rented.
1.1.2
Available rental days are defined as the number of 24-hour periods
—or portions thereof—that the entity offered vehicles for rental
—or portions thereof—that the entity offered vehicles for rental
during the reporting period. This figure shall exclude the time
when
vehicles
were
undergoing
inspection,
cleaning
or
maintenance, and any time when they were subject to recall.
2
The scope of disclosure includes vehicles at all the entity’s rental locations,
including airport locations, off-airport locations and vehicles in the entity’s car-
sharing fleet.
