Formula 1 has confirmed a 35% reduction in its carbon footprint against its 2018 baseline, with the championship saying its Net Zero 2030 target remains on track after the release of its latest Impact Report.
The update, published by Formula 1 on 17 June 2026, says almost 80,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent have been removed from operations across the sport over the past eight years. The reductions cover freight, logistics, broadcast operations, factories, facilities and race-event delivery.
Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali said the progress had been achieved while the championship continued to grow, with the calendar expanding and the sport reaching new audiences. The official update said F1 is shifting more freight away from air transport and towards sea routes and regional hubs.
Domenicali Points To Facts Behind F1’s 2030 Push
F1 said travel emissions have dropped by more than 21,000 tCO2e, while factory, facility and office emissions across the sport have fallen by more than 37,000 tCO2e. Logistics emissions are also down by almost 20,000 tCO2e, according to the latest Formula 1 corporate update.
The most immediate operational change is freight. F1 says more than half of current broadcast and related freight will be removed from air transport by 2030, supported by sustainable aviation fuel and a first investment in sustainable maritime fuel during 2025.
That matters because the sport’s biggest sustainability test is not whether it can make one race weekend cleaner, but whether a 24-race global calendar can cut emissions without losing scale. This report gives F1 a stronger evidence base before the next phase of its 2030 plan.
