Formula 1 claims its 2025 sustainability review shows a 35 % cut in total carbon from 2018, slashing emissions from 228,793 t to 148,805 t. The report includes team operations, factories and travel, and credits shifts from air to sea freight, sustainable aviation fuel and a reshaped calendar. Domenicali says the effort is collective for the sport’s net‑zero pledge by 2030 goal.

Factories and facilities saw a 64 % drop from 2018, while logistics emissions fell 21 % year‑on‑year and 29 % overall. Grouping races geographically—like the back‑to‑back Miami and Canadian Grands Prix—cut travel carbon by almost 3 %. The 2026 mandate for advanced sustainable fuels promises an 80 % greenhouse‑gas reduction. This shift also aligns with the sport’s broader environmental strategy across international races everywhere today.

Stefano Domenicali credits the collective push, while Ellen Jones highlights doubled investment in sustainable aviation fuel and first maritime fuel purchase. F1’s third‑party reporting platform adds transparency, and the Net Zero by 2030 target requires a 50 % cut versus 2018, with offsets for unavoidable emissions. The data confirms the sport can grow without compromising performance for racing fans worldwide today.
