Sustainability at the centre of Formula E's season finale in London

From grassroots social impact programmes like FIA Girls on Track hosting 120 young women over the weekend, and local community projects supported by the Better Futures Fund, to powering the event by renewable energy and significant waste management systems, social and environmental sustainability continues to be in Formula E’s DNA as it celebrates its season finale at the London Excel this weekend. 

As Formula E maintains its position as the world’s most sustainable sport, it continues to deliver lasting social and environmental impact in every race location. The Season 11 finale reflects this ambition through a wide-reaching programme of purposeful action, from electric mobility innovation, to grassroots community partnerships. 

Sustainability credentials at the 2025 Marvel Fantastic Four London E-Prix include:

Better Futures Fund: Tackling homelessness through innovation

• The Formula E Better Futures Fund is supporting the Change Please Foundation in London with a donation of  €25,000 to refit and mobilise a newly-donated ULEZ-compliant bus. 
• Change Please Foundation is an award-winning social enterprise that empowers people experiencing homelessness by providing training, employment, and wraparound support.
• Through initiatives like Driving for Change, it converts London buses into mobile support centres offering vital services spanning mental health support, dental care, hairdressing, housing advice, and employment pathways to rough sleepers and hidden homeless populations across multiple London Boroughs.
• At its core, Driving for Change is not just about delivering services — it’s about bringing services to people through innovative, mobile, and sustainable infrastructure. The use of a newly donated ULEZ-compliant bus to deliver homelessness services demonstrates how mobility solutions can be repurposed to meet critical social needs — mirroring Formula E’s mission to accelerate sustainable human progress through electric vehicle technology.
• The Better Futures Fund, established by Formula E during Season 10, aims to create a lasting positive impact in host cities by supporting local initiatives that address social inequalities and environmental issues.
• Formula E and members of the championship ecosystem will join the Driving for Change mobile service bus during race week to support hospitality, personal care, and community engagement, fostering deeper understanding of homelessness and promoting dignity through direct action.
