Formula One recorded a 35% reduction in its carbon footprint in 2025 compared to the 2018 baseline, according to its annual review [1, 2]. This represents a 12% drop from the previous year, 2024 [1, 2].
The sport achieved a 27% cut in travel-related emissions since 2018. Teams invested in sustainable aviation fuel and increased the use of remote broadcast operations to reduce travel impacts [1, 2]. Since 2018, almost 80,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide have been removed from Formula One operations [1, 2].
Formula One President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said, "From calendar rationalisation to greater investment in sustainable fuels and alternative energy solutions, we have reduced our footprint while the sport continues to grow" [1].
Looking ahead, over 50% of Formula One's current broadcast and related freight will be removed from air transport by 2030 [1, 2]. The sport aims to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 [1, 2].
Formula One is set to hold 22 Grands Prix in 2026 as the sport balances expanding competition with sustainability goals [1, 2]. The next major milestone remains the achievement of net-zero emissions within the next four years.
