Environmental Impact

Formula E is on its 9th season. Although the series is considered relatively new, they are way ahead the curve when it comes to sustainable management.

 

The series has become the first sport to be certified net zero carbon from inception and the first to join the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which means they set science-based targets consistent with the goal of limiting the Earth's warming to 1.5°C.

Not only offsetting, Formula E is actively trying to reduce its carbon emissions. Compared to Season 5's 45,000 tonnes of CO2e, the series has reduced 24% of its overall emissions in only three years.

The freight of cars and equipment is FE's biggest carbon footprint contributor. Although it is the most significant source of emissions, the series reduced 7.5 tonnes CO2e from Season 5 to Season 8 by making changes on the calendar while increasing the number of races.   

Business travel is in second place. This category applies to all individuals flights and ground transportation, as well as hotels for all members of the teams and workers of event partners.

Operations include all event-related impacts, such as broadcasting, circuit energy use, generation use, and team impact at circuit.

Spectators travel include global and local emissions produced by fans' travels.

Food and drinks include all the food provisions at the track.

Car include emissions related to car parts and batteries.

What is Formula E doing?

Formula E is exceptionally committed to environmental and social sustainability. After all, the series was created with sustainability at its core and has built a fan base who is familiar with environmental and social issues, and wants to see real changes. 

Formula E launched the GEN3 in its latest season, which is considered to be "the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built." Using a LCA from beginning to end, the car was created to have as low carbon footprint as possible. Besides using 26% of natural rubber and recycled fibers in its tires, the GEN3 is the first formula car to use linen and recycled carbon fiber in bodywork construction.

 

Formula E is ahed the curve off of the track too. It has become a leader in sustainability in whole sport industry. For instance, the series was the only global sport present at COP27 in Egypt.

Social Impact

Formula E aims to build more inclusive, resilient, and diverse communities in the cities where they race.  Its projects and activities are built with the goal of creating a positive social and economic impact within those communities. The series partnered with UNICEF to support and advocate for children's right. Through the partnership, Formula E provided climate-resilient water and sanitation services to almost 9 million people. 

Additionally, Formula E's legacy program in host cities has impacted the lives of 11,720 local children, and the lives of 696,000 children globally. The series has donated over € 500,000 to philanthropic causes. This year, it will host four Girls on Track workshop events: in Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Diriyah, and Jakarta. FIA Girls on Track is "a grassroots project to empower young girls and promote gender equality in an innovative, engaging and positive manner."
