Formula E has been ranked the Best Total Performer from a table of over 300 global sports organisations in the 2022 Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports (GSBS) report.
The purpose-driven motorsport also ranked the highest in three of the four other categories in the report, including Best Corporate Performance, Best Environmental Performance, and Best Governance Performance.
It was the Italian football club, Juventus, which won the report’s Best Social Performance title this year.
GSBS is an independent, global, not-for-profit organisation which analyses and benchmarks the sustainability performance of professional sports organisations. Its 2022 study analysed more than 50 elite sports organisations of more than 300 invited to take part.
Other ranked in the report include the NFL, NBA, FIFA, Formula 1, UFC, and WWE.
Jamie Reigle, ceo at Formula E, said: “Setting the global standard for sustainability in sport has been a core characteristic of Formula E since we began in 2014. We also acknowledge the efforts in sustainability by other major sports organisations around the world and welcome that progress.
“Together, we have the potential to engage billions of fans in the mission to combat climate change and make a positive difference to the lives of future generations.”
