Carlos says that this operational choice slashes event-related travel emissions by approximately 50 % compared to traditional international sports formatting. The aim is to provide a clear framework for corporate sustainability leaders who face intense scrutiny of their supply chain emissions and travel management. By embedding circular economies directly into team operations, such as mandating recycled fabrics for team apparel, E1 targets major sources of pollution. Carlos says that clothing is the second largest source of ocean pollution, making fabric circularity a priority for the teams.
Jamie and Carlos believe that the corporate transition toward sustainability must prioritise real progress over institutional fear. Carlos urges boardroom leaders to resist the paralysis caused by hyper-critical public narratives.“ Greenwashing has become a witch hunt that really paralyses people,” he says.“ We will never be perfect. But it’ s a journey that will never end. Tell me what you’ re doing today and tell me how you’ ll improve tomorrow.”
