Environmental Vision
Toward Carbon Neutrality in Motorsport Events
Honda Mobilityland aims to become carbon neutral by 2030 through efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to motorsport events, which are the core business of Honda Mobilityland.
Environmental Efforts
We use "Green Electricity"* as our general electric power supply for major motorsport events held at Suzuka Circuit and Mobility Resort Motegi. Effectively 100% of this electricity comes from environmentally sound renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric power and solar power generation, etc.
*CO2-free electricity generated according to environmental value rating based on non-fossil certification provided by Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Company, Incorporated.
We are working to promote recycling by reducing the use of single-use plastics and by sorting and collecting waste generated from motorsport events.
In addition, we will also monitor CO2 emissions resulting from the movement of people and goods in conjunction with the holding of international motorsport events, and we promote a comprehensive cycle of planning, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of measures to reduce these emissions.
Suzuka Circuit is awarded FIA’s highest Three-Star Environmental Accreditation
Suzuka Circuit is proud to announce it has achieved the FIA three-star rating for environmental sustainability, the highest rating under the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Environmental Accreditation Program.
The FIA Environmental Certification Program evaluates the level of environmental management provided by stakeholders active in motorsports and the automotive industry around the world based on achievement in 17 assessment categories and ranks their environmental initiatives as organizations on a three-level scale. Suzuka Circuit has now been awarded the pinnacle three-star rating in recognition of its environmental management system for creating a sustainable future, through continued expansion of its programs since earning the two-star rating in 2023.
Going forward, Suzuka Circuit, under the direction of Honda Mobilityland, will further accelerate its efforts toward making its motorsport events carbon neutral, and it will also continue to work to foster a culture of mobility and promotion of motorsports. Furthermore, it will address global environmental and social issues by leveraging its practices in the field of human resource development.
【Major environmental initiatives based on the Basic Sustainability Policy】
■ Use of clean energy
- Leveraging the environmental value derived from hydroelectric and solar power generation, we will use "Green Electricity," which is practically 100% renewable energy.
- Switching part of the fuel for temporary-use generators to HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) fuel.
- Installation of self-consumption solar panels at one of the on-site parking lots.
*Scheduled for completion in January 2025.
■ Waste reduction
- Eliminating the use of disposable plastic containers, increasing recycling rates by sorting wastes for separate collection, and recycling resources by composting branches, leaves, and mown grass.
- Installation of free water stations that spectators can use free-of-charge.
- Donation of surplus food generated at events to food bank organizations in the surrounding area.
■ Improvement of environmental performance related to transportation
