Formula E released its Season 9 Sustainability Report maintaining its position as the world’s most sustainable sport and celebrating 10 years as net zero carbon.
Season 9 marked another pivotal year for the all-electric championship, reducing its emissions per race by 41% compared to its Season 5 benchmark, while increasing participation in the FIA Girls on Track gender diversity education program by 140%.
Freight emissions were also reduced by 41% thanks to an increased race schedule, freight routing and biofuel optimization in conjunction with its founding and official logistics partner DHL.
These highlights were recognized and applauded in three leading independent sustainability league tables that the championship topped, including the Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports (GSBS), the Sustainable Motorsport Index (SMI) and the Sustainable Championships Index (SChI™).
Leader in Sports
Building on its world-leading sustainability programs, including being the world’s first global sport with zero net carbon emissions since its inception, the series also became the first sport in the world to align with the international carbon neutrality standard (PAS 2060).
Moreover, the series helped UNICEF’s mission to positively impact 2.5 million children and youth through its Safe and Healthy Environment fund, in addition to investing more than US$117,000 in community projects.
This latest Sustainability Report describes Formula E’s world-leading example in leaving positive legacies in each of the cities where it races, including minimizing its emissions by following the most advanced recommendations and goals outlined by the United Nations.
