The new program is the Company's pledge to be better than yesterday, every day
VALCOURT, QC, Feb. 26, 2026 /CNW/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOO) is proud to launch its 2030 sustainability program, Beyond the Ride. BRP has been creating vehicles that unlock unforgettable experiences for decades, and deeply values the people and the playgrounds bringing them to life. Beyond the Ride reflects the Company's commitment to improving how it designs, builds and operates in order to be better than yesterday, every day.
"This new sustainability program is a meaningful step for the future of BRP. By making sustainability part of how we improve every day, we want to drive long-term progress for our customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities around us," said Denis Le Vot, President and CEO of BRP. "Beyond the Ride is about ensuring our industry grows in ways that are both exciting and responsible.

"With this new program, we are ensuring performance and sustainability move as one, without compromising the thrill. We're focusing on everyday improvements, because we believe that small, consistent actions drive real lasting transformations."
Being better than yesterday is an ongoing commitment, it has no finish line. Beyond the Ride is turning purposeful innovation into real-world solutions and embracing a culture of relentless betterment across three main pillars: Environment, Social and Governance.
Environment
BRP's environment objectives are divided into facilities, supply chain and products.
- Facilities: BRP aims to design and operate facilities to be cleaner, smarter and more efficient. Objectives include reducing Scope 1&2 emissions in manufacturing operations by 30%, reaching a minimum of 85% 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.
Social
Beyond the Ride aims to create a positive social impact that enhances the daily lives of BRP employees and communities. As such, BRP is committed to investing 1% of its pre-tax profits in community support, including through its global community engagement program, Ride Out Intimidation, which aims to fight intimidation worldwide. Moreover, the Company is continuing to promote responsible riding among employees, dealers and riders through business practices, training and community partnerships as part of its flagship Responsible Rider program. And as BRP deeply cares about its employees, the Company maintains its "Zero Incident, Zero Impact" health and safety target for all its facilities worldwide.
Governance
With its new sustainability program, BRP's intention is to continue to make decisions guided by transparency, ethics, and accountability at every level. This includes having 100% of permanent office employees and Board members trained and certified to BRP's Code of Ethics every year, and implementing ethical standards and technological safeguards to embrace a responsible use of AI within the organization.
