Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Peloton's ethical profile is mixed. The company promotes health, with its "Well-being for Life" program reaching approximately 199,000 individuals in FY24, and initiatives to bring fitness to underserved communities. However, product costs limit accessibility. Environmentally, Peloton aims for 100% renewable energy by FY26, covering 80% of global energy use with renewable energy certificates in FY24, and reduced air freight by 95% from FY21. Yet, Scope 3 emissions were high at 711,701 tCO₂e in FY23, and critics point to a lack of comprehensive data on waste and water. Reports also suggest a data breach occurred in 2021. Information on fair pay, ethical sourcing, and honest business practices remains limited.

Kind to Animals

0

The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable evidence to score Peloton against any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs. While one article notes Peloton uses animal-derived materials like wool and exotic animal hair and states there is no evidence of a policy to minimize animal suffering in its supply chain, this information does not map to the quantitative thresholds required by the rubric for any specific KPI, such such as the percentage of ethical input substitution or cruelty-free certification share.

1
The mention of 'dk active' being a PETA-approved vegan brand refers to a different entity, not Peloton itself.
2
Therefore, all KPIs are omitted due to a lack of direct, quantifiable evidence that aligns with the rubric's scoring criteria.

No War, No Weapons

Safe & Smart Tech

0

The provided articles mention a data breach experienced by Peloton in 2021.

1
However, the articles do not provide specific details regarding the scale of the breach, the number of users affected, the company's response, or any information about its security program or preventative measures. As the assessment date is 2025, a breach in 2021 falls outside the 'past 3 years' timeframe for most relevant scoring tiers. Without further details on the breach's severity, the company's security posture, or any other relevant cybersecurity and privacy metrics, there is insufficient evidence to score any of the KPIs against the provided rubric.
