Polaris's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Polaris reported total carbon emissions of approximately 121,274,000 kg CO2e, comprising 49,513,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 71,761,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks a slight decrease from 2023, where total emissions were about 137,471,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 53,742,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 83,730,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Polaris has shown a trend of fluctuating emissions, with 2022 emissions recorded at approximately 133,606,000 kg CO2e, and 2021 at about 127,062,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data in recent years, which limits the understanding of its full carbon footprint. Polaris has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while emissions data is available, a structured approach to emissions reduction may still be in development. Overall, Polaris's emissions data reflects a significant operational scale, with revenues of approximately USD 7.27 billion in 2024, yet the company faces challenges in establishing clear and ambitious climate commitments to align with industry standards.
