Formula E publishes verified emissions data and holds B Corp status, but its Scope 1&2 reduction target weakened from 60% to 50% by 2030. Absolute emissions rose for two consecutive seasons before Season 11. Supply chain dominates at 98% of footprint; renewable energy claims rest on certificates, not additional generation. Saudi PIF's shareholding and an Aramco-linked sponsor undercut its climate credibility.
