Formula 1 has released its latest impact report, confirming that the sport has reduced its carbon footprint by 35 per cent and is on track to achieve its net-zero target by 2030.

Since a baseline was first set in 2018, F1 has made significant emissions savings across its freight, logistics, broadcast and race operation functions. Freight, one of the biggest considerations in the sport’s sustainability goals, will continue to be shifted away from air transport to sea and regional hubs, which will reshape how the sport travels globally.

Travel emissions have gone down by over 21,000 tCO2e, representing a 27 per cent reduction compared to 2018, and as F1 teams scale their investments in sustainable aviation fuel, further travel reductions are to follow.

Ellen Jones, head of ESG at Formula 1, said: “Sustainability underpins every decision we make, not only on the racetrack, but in how we produce and deliver our iconic events around the world. By doubling the sport’s investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), making our first investment in sustainable maritime fuel, and continuing to work closely with promoters, teams and partners, we are driving further emissions reductions while accelerating the adoption of the latest technologies.”

F1 has also worked with the grid’s 11 teams to transition to renewable energy sources to power their offices and factories. As a result, emissions have fallen by over 37,000 tCO2e in a 64 per cent reduction against 2018 and a 14 per cent reduction compared to 2024.

At actual races, alternative energy solutions across all European rounds in 2025, including low-carbon energy sources like HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), solar and battery systems, have helped reduce footprint with a 17 per cent reduction in event operation emissions on a per-race basis.
