ESG Commitments

Environment (E)

In 2025, SPA GP, promoter and organizer of the Formula 1(R) Moët & Chandon Belgian Grand Prix, strengthened its environmental sustainability approach. The organization renewed its ISO 20121 certification for responsible event management and confirmed its FIA 3-Star Environmental Accreditation applicable to the Grand Prix. These recognitions reflect SPA GP’s ongoing commitment to more responsible event organization and continuous improvement of its environmental practices.

As part of this effort, SPA GP increased transparency within its supply chain. For the 2025 Grand Prix edition, an expanded analysis of Supplier Scope 3 emissions was conducted. Data collection and report preparation were carried out in collaboration with partner Experienz. This partnership will continue with the objective of improving data quality and implementing targeted emission reduction actions across the supplier base.

Scope and Results

The assessment covers 39 suppliers operating within SPA GP’s operational perimeter for the event, resulting in total emissions of 294.713 tCO2e.

Key Figures
  • Supplier Scope 3 – 2024: 165.02 tCO2e (18 suppliers)
  • Supplier Scope 3 – 2025: 294.713 tCO2e (39 suppliers)
This approximately 78% increase is mainly explained by the expansion of the supplier scope analyzed, more comprehensive inclusion of transport and freight-related emissions, and improved data quality enabled by direct supplier reporting.

Key Levers Identified

In 2025, the Purchased Goods & Services category was the largest contributor, accounting for 42.13% of total emissions. The 10 highest-emitting suppliers represent 88.76% of measured emissions, allowing SPA GP to prioritize high-impact actions. Supplier engagement continues to improve, with a 42.59% response rate, including five suppliers (12.8%) already providing verified emissions data.

Transparency Note

This publication exclusively covers Supplier Scope 3 emissions and includes five Scope 3 categories. Scopes 1 and 2 are not included. The report has undergone an internal review and has not been verified by an independent third party.
Based on these findings, SPA GP will pursue targeted actions in 2026, particularly with the highest-emitting suppliers and in logistics-related areas, in order to achieve measurable emission reductions and further improve data quality.

Social (S)

As part of its social commitment, SPA GP has developed a charity program supporting organizations active in the field of childhood and early childhood. Through its collaboration with Kiwanis of Stavelot, more than €70,000 has been raised, enabling support for several organizations and projects, including the Home d’Accueil Permanent de Comblain-au-Pont, Maison Blanche ASBL, ASBL La Rouette, and Entre Familles.

The central pillar of this social engagement remains the “Pit Lane” initiative, which welcomed more than 1,850 participants. This program offers a unique immersion into the world of Formula 1, fostering direct interactions with drivers and the sharing of memorable moments. The 1,850 smiles generated serve as a strong indicator of the positive social impact of the event.

Governance (G)

In terms of governance, SPA GP places strong emphasis on diversity, balance, and equal opportunity. Vanessa Maes, General Manager of SPA GP, highlights that near gender parity has been achieved in key positions, with 43% female representation, demonstrating a concrete commitment to inclusive and balanced governance.
