Penske's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Penske reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 521,573,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes 23,544,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 10,826,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions in the US. Additionally, their global Scope 3 emissions reached about 12,254,093,000 kg CO2e, highlighting the extensive impact of their supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite these substantial emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Penske. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company acknowledges its carbon footprint, it has yet to commit to formal reduction strategies. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Penske's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
