Polaris's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Polaris reported total carbon emissions of approximately 137,471,000 kg CO2e, comprising 53,742,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 83,730,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 133,606,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 56,558,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 77,048,000 kg CO2e. Polaris has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to demonstrate progress in reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, while Polaris has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets and Scope 3 data suggests that further action may be necessary to enhance its climate strategy and commitments.
