Polaris publishes 2025 Geared For Good report

Polaris released its 2025 Geared For Good Report, which highlighted the manufacturer’s ongoing efforts to support its people, riders, communities, and the outdoors.

“Doing business the right way and being thoughtful stewards of our industry, our people, and the outdoors is core to who we are at Polaris,” says Holly Spaeth, VP of Brand & Powersports Marketing and Corporate Responsibility committee chair. “This year’s report reflects our commitment to being Geared For Good, highlighting how we’re welcoming more people into powersports, investing in our communities, and making progress toward our long‑term environmental goals.”

The report is organized around Polaris’ four Geared For Good pillars: Think Product; Think Production; Think Places; and Think People.

Report highlights include:

Think Product:

• Expanded access to powersports by launching the Ranger 500, an approachable utility SxS at $9,999.
• Removed 100% of detectable PFAS in Klim’s spring and fall lines.
• Earned industry recognition for best‑in‑class innovation, including honors for MRZR, Godfrey Sanpan, and Hurricane SunDeck 3200.

Think Production:

• Installed an 8,000-square-meter solar array in the Goupil factory in France.
• Cut dunnage waste by 900 tons through the creation of reusable engine crates.
• Conserved more than 4 million gallons of water year over year.

Think Places:

• Supported trail and conservation projects across five states through the fully funded Polaris Fund for Outdoor Recreation in partnership with the National Forest Foundation.
• Donated $255,000 via Trails Grants, supporting trail stewardship and rider education.
• Raised $10,000 for Advocates for Multi‑Use Public Lands and local riding clubs, expanding snowmobile access.

Think People:

• Contributed more than $5.6 million in corporate donations, grants, and employee giving.
• Invested $80,000 in S.T.E.P. scholarships, providing over 1,000 students from 45 schools with free access to Polaris technician training.
• Advanced leadership and skill development for more than 2,000 employees through the launch of Development Day.

The report also highlights continued momentum toward Polaris’ 2035 environmental goals, teams following ISO standards to evaluate vehicle recyclability, reducing GHG emissions by 10,000 metric tons of CO2e since 2023, overall 80% waste diversion, and 98% of miles driven with SmartWay.
