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 marked a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 133,606,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 56,558,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 77,048,000 kg CO2e. Polaris has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which limits the understanding of their full carbon footprint. The company has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The emissions data is sourced directly from Polaris Inc., with no cascading from a parent or related organisation. As a company headquartered in the US, Polaris is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction, yet it currently lacks defined targets to guide its emissions reduction efforts.
