MISSISSAUGA, ON / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Polaris Transportation Group is proud to announce the release of their first Sustainability Report, a voluntary publication underscoring the company's 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 Polaris Sustainability Lead, Fulya Karakas-Akgun, the company has taken intensive measures to strengthen their environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Their efforts have been integrated into all facets of their operation with five pillars dedicated to their work, employees, planet, community and partners. They also introduced their Sustainable Growth Strategy, built on principles aimed to create a long-lasting impact.
The report provides a baseline for the company to track and communicate the progress of their Sustainability Action Plan for years ahead. It outlines their governance structure, policies and initiatives - from reducing carbon emissions with cleaner technologies and equipment investments to giving back to their communities and fostering diversity, equity, inclusivity and belonging across all levels of the organization.
Polaris CEO, Dave Cox comments, "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." He adds, "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 their customers, partners and communities the clarity they deserve to make informed choices. The information provided is expected to motivate the company to stay on track and further elevate their 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."
For Polaris, publishing this report marks a meaningful beginning to documenting their achievements as they strive toward a greener, more sustainable and equitable future.
