The players
Formula E
An international electric vehicle racing championship that coordinates global motorsport events alongside sustainability and education programs.
Deloitte
A global professional services firm that provided the socio-economic framework used to calculate the championship's impact.
The details
Formula E collaborated with Deloitte to develop a socio-economic framework that measures total social value contribution. The organization implemented this by working with 960 local community partners and hosting hands-on workshops in cities including Jeddah, Miami, and London. Furthermore, the series achieved an 85% score in the Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sport and earned certification under the BSI Net Zero Pathway.
Timeline
The 2024/25 season served as the core period for social value generation.
By 2030, the championship aims to meet established targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reductions.
The organization targets a 90% reduction in total emissions by 2050.
The Home Front
Formula E's recent reporting aligns with the BSI Net Zero Pathway to codify its sustainability commitments. This shift reflects a growing trend in global sports organizations adopting standardized frameworks to track and verify their environmental and social contributions.
While these large-scale programs operate at a community level, residents in host cities can look for opportunities to engage with local STEM workshops when race events arrive. Consider tracking the sustainability ratings of the brands and events you support to see how they align with your own household environmental goals.
The takeaway
Formula E is leveraging its racing platform to drive community-level educational and environmental impacts alongside its professional sporting schedule. Readers can monitor their local community's inclusion in future STEM and sustainability outreach programs as the series continues its global tour.
