Polaris Transportation Group is proud to announce the release of our first Sustainability Report, a voluntary publication underscoring our ongoing commitment to environmental protection and responsible growth.
Prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and referencing relevant disclosures from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework, the report covers the year 2024 and represents a significant milestone in Polaris’ sustainability journey.
Since launching the Polaris Sustainability Action Plan in 2024 under the guidance of Sustainability Lead, Fulya Karakas-Akgun, we have taken intensive measures to strengthen our environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Our efforts have been integrated into all facets of our operation with five pillars dedicated to our work, employees, planet, community and partners. We also introduced our Sustainable Growth Strategy, built on principles aimed to create a long-lasting impact.
The report provides a baseline for us to track and communicate the progress of our Sustainability Action Plan for years ahead. It outlines our governance structure, policies and initiatives – from reducing carbon emissions with cleaner technologies and equipment investments to giving back to our communities and fostering diversity, equity, inclusivity and belonging across all levels of our organization.
Publishing our first Sustainability Report has been an exciting and humbling process. Sustainability has always been part of who we are but this brings our efforts into sharper focus. Our vision is to create lasting value by embedding responsible practices into everything we do. We will remain steadfast in our future-focused actions, showing that growth and sustainability can move forward together with purpose.
With this report, Polaris aims to give our customers, partners and communities the clarity they deserve to make informed choices. The information provided is expected to motivate us to stay on track and further elevate our practices with the hope of influencing positive change across the transportation and logistics industry.
Polaris Sustainability Lead, Fulya Karakas-Akgun states, “At Polaris, we believe transparency fuels progress and accountability builds trust. Sustainability requires advancing our business in ways that benefit our people, communities and planet. With this first report, we’re setting the foundation for future editions that will continue to highlight our impact and identify how we can raise the bar along the way.”
Publishing this report marks a meaningful beginning to documenting our achievements as we strive toward a greener, more sustainable and equitable future.
