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 represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 133,606,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 56,558,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 77,048,000 kg CO2e. Polaris has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to climate commitments. Overall, while Polaris has made some progress in managing its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets and Scope 3 emissions data suggests that further efforts are needed to enhance its sustainability profile and align with industry standards for climate action.
