Formula E Celebrates 10 Years Net Zero Carbon

Formula E has published its Season 9 Sustainability Report while retaining its position as the world’s most sustainable sport; celebrating ten years as net zero carbon.  

Season 9 marked another pivotal year for the all-electric championship, reducing its emissions per race by 41 percent compared to its Season 5 baseline, while increasing participation of the education-based gender diversity programme FIA Girls on Track with 1,080 girls at universities and schools with additional career talks offsite. 

Here are Formula E’s ten key achievements across ten years of net zero carbon:

  1. Maintained rank of #1 ESG Global Sport and Motorsport by three independent organisations in 2024 (GSBS, MSI and SChI).
  2. First sport in the world to achieve Net Zero Carbon (based on the 2020 definition) since inception in 2020.
  3. First sport in the world to have emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2021.
  4. First sport in the world to align on the international standard for carbon neutrality (PAS 2060) in 2023.
  5. First motorsport in the world to achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation continuously since 2015.
  6. First motorsport in the world to achieve third party certification for the international standard for sustainability in events (ISO 20121) continuously since 2018.
  7. First motorsport in the world to collaborate with UNEP on World Environment Day and International Day for Clean Air for Blue Skies since 2017.
