Circularity: The next frontier Winning F1 titles is one thing, but helping to head off a global ecological disaster is quite another.
McLaren Racing is showing its intent by giving itself exacting targets, validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative, of decarbonising its emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2040.
Kim explains how these targets are being approached, saying:“ We’ ve already done a lot of work within our industry on sustainable fuels. In 2026, we will have sustainable fuels coming into the Formula One car.
“ Across the industry, not necessarily just McLaren, we have done a lot of work focusing on the fact that we have to travel around the world. It’ s about sustainable fuels and sustainable travel.”
But circularity in F1 is“ the next frontier”, Kim argues.
“ We have a net zero commitment by 2040 and to decarb our emissions by 2030, but a really big part of that is our supply chain.
“ It’ s the same as any other organisation and we need to be able to lean into the materials that we use and what we buy to be able to run our business and our team.”
Remarkably, McLaren is closing in on developing a fully circular F1 car, which Kim says is crucial in a“ resource constrained world”, with businesses facing supply chain disruption.
