Environmental
Recognising the global nature of our sport, we have worked tirelessly to understand the environmental impact that our activities have and the role that we can play in driving change. Our aim is to embed environmental sustainability in every decision we make and action we take, accelerating our drive to achieve Net Zero by 2030.
Toto Wolff, Team Principal and CEO commented: “Performance at any cost, without thought of the wider repercussions, is no longer acceptable in today’s world. But being sustainable doesn’t have to mean compromise.
“Delivering sustainable high performance has become a guiding principle in the way we operate. Over the last year, we have grown our sustainability activities to get a better understanding of our impact on the planet and our role within society, and to further explore ways in which we can improve. Hitting the brakes isn’t an option.”
Through bold action to address our largest sources of emissions, we have made significant progress during 2022:
- 21% reduction in overall air travel emissions (saving over 2,600 tonnes of CO2 emissions), aided by our pioneering book and claim and refinery investment into Sustainable Aviation Fuel – the first professional sports team to do so.
- External verification of our 2022 carbon footprint accounting for our full supply chain has allowed us to reset our Scope 3 baseline and refine our future Net Zero targets.
- Independent verification provides transparency and confidence as we prepare for the submission of our Science Based Targets in 2023.
- Accelerated emissions reduction programme.
- 98% of waste diverted from landfill to energy recovery and recycling, and reduction of gas consumption by 13% as we move towards full electrification.
- 88% reduction in emissions through a biofuel freight trial which has since been implemented for the full 2023 European season, targeting over 60% emissions reduction.
