From climate-neutrality to supply chain traceability and sustainability labelling, transparency is a key enabler to making real world progress.
Polestar, along with all car makers, has a vital role to play in meeting global climate goals. Our industry is one of the world's biggest polluters and right now we are way off track, despite having funds and engineering capabilities to change that. But to change we need a clear Pathway, we need collective climate action and unprecedented collaboration. That is why we teamed up with Rivian and Kearney to create the Pathway Report.

See more about the LCABy being completely transparent about our methods and progress towards a climate-neutral future, we aim to set a standard that others who want to make similar claims must follow.
We’re fully transparent about all greenhouse gas emissions from cradle to grave, so you can make an informed choice.
We’re working to change how minerals are extracted and processed. We want them to be mined responsibly, with respect for human rights, local communities, and ecosystems. We currently trace cobalt using blockchain. More risk materials will follow.
Using blockchain software supplied by our partners, Circulor, we can accurately track cobalt throughout our entire supply chain. This means its source, and the methods by which it’s extracted, processed and transported, can be regulated.
You can find product sustainability declarations on our website and in Polestar spaces. They currently disclose our cars’ cradle-to-gate carbon footprint and traced risk materials. The next step is to develop these declarations by including more sustainability metrics like recycled content.
