Formula E has emerged as a leading platform for promoting sustainable motorsport and electric mobility, using its high-speed platform to raise awareness for clean technology and environmental consciousness as part of its fight to end carbon emission use in racing. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is also promoting sustainable motorsport, through its core principles of clean technology, electric mobility and environmental awareness through the intersection of high-speed racing.

Since its inception, Formula E has been developing a strong worldwide profile to show the potential of what EVs and renewable energy can achieve and that performance and sustainability need not be mutually exclusive. Unlike traditional combustion-based motorsports, FORMULA E, from its very birth, was focused on zero-emission racing – a model that aims to put motorsport on the path to a more sustainable future, and at the same time pave the way for wider adoption of ever-evolving sustainable mobility for electric vehicles.

One of Formula E’s key sustainability commitments is its net-zero carbon pledge that incorporates sustainable practices in its events and operations. The championship's target is to reduce waste and emissions as much as possible from logistics through to energy sourcing, and on-going sustainable paddock infrastructure. In recent years, Formula E has been fuelled by renewable energy, carbon-offset programs and collaboration with environmental groups committed to climate action.

It also raises awareness among fans by reaching out to local communities, with initiatives focused on clean mobility, sustainable life and climate literacy tied to the race weekend’s events.

Educational initiatives and partnerships with cities where Formula E racing is taking place are helping to reinforce the fact that 'electrifying transport is not just technically possible but socially significant'.

Brands from all over the world including the world's biggest, participate in Formula E to test new technology for their future electric vehicle range, many of which also find their way into commercial EVs. The combination of sport and innovation reflects the championship's vision in its capacity to influence the future of sustainable mobility.

As World Environment Day comes around, Formula E's sustainability leadership, and commitment to high-performance sport as a force for environmental changes highlights the importance of cleaner and greener transport options for fans across the globe.
