In 2023, Planet Fitness reported total carbon emissions of approximately 36,340,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 4,506,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 31,580,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 36,391,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 5,253,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 27,184,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Notably, Planet Fitness has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Planet Fitness has made strides in reducing its emissions over the past few years, the absence of formal reduction commitments suggests that further action may be necessary to enhance its sustainability profile.
