Aston Martin Formula One® Team has capped its F1® comeback with a standards-powered roadmap towards net zero.
“We wanted to be at the forefront of delivering more efficient and sustainable solutions, quickly.”
The team's return to the racetrack coincided with a renewed focus on sustainability and driving wider societal change.
There was also pressure from F1® with strict sustainability initiatives in place, including the FIA's 2030 net-zero target.
From the construction of its cars to the maintenance of its facilities, Aston Martin Formula One® Team wanted to comply with and exceed industry regulations on sustainability.
However, due to the extensive global transport needed to compete in the races, Aston Martin Formula One® Team would need to find a way to reduce energy consumption, lower GHG emissions and better optimize its resources if it were to operate as sustainably as possible.
Aston Martin Formula One® Team embraced certification to achieve key climate action milestones and embed sustainable practices. Certification in Environmental Management (ISO 14001) has helped them secure three-star accreditation to the FIA’s Environmental Accreditation Programme and improve management in Scope 3 emissions and logistics operations.
They are working towards further sustainability-linked standards in Energy Management (ISO 50001), Sustainable Events Management (ISO 20121) and Carbon Footprint Verification (ISO 14064-1).
