Mercedes revealed that it has reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 50% and increased the number of female team members to 15% of its workforce, as part of its ongoing sustainability and diversity efforts.

The Silver Arrows have launched numerous programs to improve their environmental impact and diversity and inclusion efforts over the past few years, including Accelerate 25 which was announced in 2020 to increase the proportion of female employees on the team to 25 % within five years.

Additionally, Mercedes continues to work with the Mulberry Schools Trust, the Stemettes, the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers and new partners the Sutton Trust and the British Disability Forum – while Lewis Hamilton has announced the formation of its partnership charity, Ignite, last year. .

Mercedes recently invested in sustainable aviation fuel to reduce scope 3 emissions – a consequence of their operations, but not directly or indirectly emitted by the team. They also target a 75% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 and a 25% carbon removal by 2030.

Finally, Mercedes’ second annual sustainability report details its charitable and community impact. The Silver Arrows have supported their local community and local council through charity initiatives, community events and school outreach, with team members raising almost £75,000 towards their December 2022 goal of £100,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
