How Polestar has reduced its GHG emissions per sold car by 31% since 2020
The Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce is pleased to showcase the sustainability initiatives driven by our member companies across Australia.
🌱 At Polestar we are proud to present our latest sustainability achievement:
We have decoupled growth from negative climate impact, cutting emissions per sold car by 31% over the last 5 years – part of a commitment to deliver measurable progress within a volatile and challenged global industry.
🔄 What We’re Doing
Polestar has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, showing how the company has reduced its GHG emissions per sold car by 31% since 2020. During the same period, Polestar has scaled its business and grown annual retail sales to over 60,000 cars, expanded across 28 markets, brought three new models to the road and established manufacturing in factories across three countries.
🌍 Why It Matters
As climate commitments slip across the car industry, policy signals waver and combustion engine investment continues, Polestar moves in the opposite direction: forward. Europe’s only pure EV company continues to deliver measurable progress instead of pledge when it comes to climate action. At a societal level, electrification offers a clear path to reducing lifecycle GHG emissions from passenger transport, as renewable energy and EV adoption scale together. As electricity becomes cleaner and more stable than petroleum-based fuels, the role of electric vehicles as a climate solution is becoming even more evident.
