Environment, Development and Sustainability: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development, 2024, vol. 26, issue 12, No 47, 31075-31097

Abstract: Abstract Sports activities are one of the tools of Agenda 2030 within the scope of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Motorsports have also recognized its impact on the natural environment and developed strategies to address related issues. It is not apparent whether the F1 organization is a green sport to meet the SDGs, despite some evidence from studies so far. This study aims to analyze F1 processes in the context of sustainable development goals using the TBL (Triple Bottom Line) methodology. For this purpose, spectator behavior, plans, projects, and practices of F1, FIA, and racing teams were pooled. Mobility in the local government and private sector is also taken into account. Data were grouped according to SDGs (17 targets, 169 sub-targets, and 231 indicators). The analysis was carried out within the framework of the Triple Bottom Line (Economic, Social, and Environmental). The results show that motorsports have also recognized its impact on the natural environment and developed strategies to address related issues. F1 is trying to become a green sport, but not yet to a sufficient level.
