Polen Capital's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Polen Capital reported carbon emissions associated with its U.S. High Yield investments, amounting to approximately 0.0003 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. The previous year, 2022, emissions data was not specified, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on absolute emissions figures for that year. Polen Capital has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they committed to any science-based targets (SBTi). This absence of defined climate commitments suggests that while the firm is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal strategies for emissions reduction or climate action. Overall, Polen Capital's current emissions reporting reflects a nascent stage in its climate commitments, with a need for more comprehensive data and clear reduction goals to align with industry standards for sustainability and climate responsibility.
