Planet Fitness's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Planet Fitness reported approximately 7,000 kg CO2e of normalised operational greenhouse gas emissions per square foot, reflecting their ongoing commitment to sustainability. This figure shows a slight increase from 2022, where emissions were about 6,900 kg CO2e per square foot, and a decrease from 2021, which recorded about 7,600 kg CO2e per square foot. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the year 2020, with total emissions of approximately 2,529,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 9,955,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. However, there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. Despite the fluctuations in emissions data, Planet Fitness has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term sustainability strategy. Overall, while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, the lack of defined goals may limit its potential impact on climate change mitigation.
