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 represents 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, totalling approximately 2,529,000 kg CO2e and 9,955,000 kg CO2e, respectively. However, there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or commitments, Planet Fitness has not reported any significant climate pledges or initiatives through recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. Overall, while Planet Fitness is actively monitoring its emissions, further clarity on its long-term climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
