Pool Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Pool Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 56,379,000 kg CO2e, comprising 42,204,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 14,175,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). In 2023, the company’s emissions were about 62,377,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 47,416,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 14,961,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Pool Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, while Pool Corporation has made strides in emissions reporting, their lack of defined reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action within the industry.
