Formula 1 sees sustainability improvements across the year
6th December 2022Formula 1 have been accredited with two awards, from the FIA and BAFTA, after it marches towards its goal in sustainability.
F1 have been handed awards in their quest for improved sustainability, accredited with the FIA’s highest ‘Sustainability Management’ accreditation (3*) and the Albert Certification.
The sport retained the Albert Certification, for the broadcast production of the British Grand Prix and marks the second time F1 gained the award since they were first accredited with the accreditation in 2021.
The Albert Certification is awarded by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) for those who meet ‘sustainable credentials, tackle the environmental impact of broadcasting, and inspire audiences to act on a more sustainable future.’
Formula 1 President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali said:
“We are committed to making Formula 1 more sustainable and increasing diversity and opportunity across this incredible sport.
“We remain focused on these very important objectives and have continued to make strong progress in 2022.
“We have delivered important initiatives on our journey to be Net Zero Carbon by 2030, expanded our scholarship programme for underrepresented groups and announced the F1 Academy that will provide opportunities for young female drivers to begin their journeys to the highest levels of our sport.
“We are proud of what we are delivering, but we know we must continue to make progress and deliver positive lasting change for Formula 1.”
As part of F1’s ambition to be Net Zero, the sport has taken action to help it achieve this target.
These actions involved; introducing remote broadcast operations, redesigned fleet of freight containers, moved to 100% renewable energy in their offices.
The sport’s remote broadcast operations allow the sport to ‘deliver initiatives’ at the Media & Technology Center which has seen a reduction to personnel and freight required at race weekends.
Previously, these initiatives would have been conducted on-site at the race venues.
In addition, the sport has also improved its carbon footprint with air travel. F1 have redesigned their freight containers to improve their use of the more efficient 777F cargo planes.
The new planes produce 19% less carbon than the 747F variants which the sport used to charter freight across the world.
