30% , reaching a minimum of85% of waste diverted from landfill in each manufacturing site, and establishing site-specific plans and targets to reduce freshwater consumption in water-stressed locations by 2030. - Supply chain: BRP strives to work with suppliers who share BRP's commitment to building a more responsible supply chain. To do so, the Company aims, for example, to embed carbon metrics criteria in suppliers' selection process by 2028. By 2030, BRP is also aiming to ensure that suppliers accounting for
70% of supply chain emissions have formally committed to emission reduction plans. - Products: BRP's goal is to engineer industry-leading products with lower impact on the planet by reducing use-phase GHG emissions by
4% on average for every new ICE model introduced, offering electric vehicles in its product portfolio in alignment with customer demand, and further integrating recycled materials in the development of products and packaging by 2030.
