In the UK, McLaren Racing dts annual sustainability report, a transparent overview of the team’s environmental and social impacts in 2024, including details of a major investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc). In 2024, with the support of its partner Ecolab, McLaren Racing funded one million US gallons of SAF, covering 100% of the team’s business travel by air across all racing series. The team also participated in Formula 1’s SAF purchasing program to cover part of our air freight logistics. McLaren’s investments funded the use of renewable or waste-derived aviation fuels, which have the potential to reduce emissions by 75-90% compared to traditional jet fuel. Kim Wilson, Director of Sustainability, McLaren Racing, said: “I strongly believe that high performance and sustainability are two sides of the same mission – pushing boundaries both on the track and for our planet. Achieving 37% circularity in our F1 Constructor activities and reducing emissions per race by 23% thanks to the significant moves we have made in funding SAF in our championship-winning year, proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand. Improved data capture has also allowed us to better understand the people that make McLaren Racing, identify opportunities to drive change, and create a diverse, inclusive and high performing workforce. Sustainability requires a collective effort across our sport to drive systemic change. Looking ahead, I’m excited to see what we can all achieve in the years to come.”
