The award follows on from the ACO's and 24 Hours of Le Mans Sustainable Endurance Award which was introduced in 2021 alongside DHL and is presented at Le Mans each year on the Positive Innovation area.

The jury constituted of representatives from across the WEC (Sport and CSR), the ACO (Sport and CSR), as well as a representative from DHL. After studying the applications, it was concluded that Peugeot TotalEnergies has developed a highly professional approach in its carbon footprint. The four main action pillars are related to the facilities and personnel, logistics, races and teams.

More specifically, the company has a strong measurement and implementation process already in progress in relation to its carbon strategy followed with a shared ambition aligned with global issues and recommendations.

Peugeot TotalEnergies are also showing that they are on track to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2030.

Frederic Lequien, FIA WEC CEO : “Congratulations to Peugeot TotalEnergies for winning our Sustainable Endurance Award by DHL which is testament to the team's strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. It is an area where we all striving to do better and Peugeot have successfully set the bar very high. Well done to the entire team and keep up the good work!”

Claire Magnant, Stellantis Motorsport Program Manager: “We are very proud to receive this award and we welcome this new initiative from the FIA ​​WEC and the ACO which helps make our sport more sustainable. This prize rewards all the hard work of Peugeot, TotalEnergies and Stellantis Motorsport. We would also like to thank the team at Capgemini Invent who work hard with us daily in this area. We launched the project to reduce our carbon footprint in 2022 and since then we have identified ways we can improve our greenhouse gas emissions. All our teams are mobilized – whether in R&D, purchasing, human resources or operations. This is a major issue and it concerns us all.”
