McLaren Racing team up with Ecolab

McLaren Racing have roped in US-based water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions provider Ecolab as an Official Partner on a multi-year deal.

The partnership will see Ecolab support the Woking-based F1 outfit’s sustainability efforts, contributing to the development of a “Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) programme to accelerate McLaren’s overall strategy of decarbonising its Formula 1 logistics and operations”.

Ecolab will also gain branding on the McLaren driver kit for the 2024 season.

Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing, commented:

“We are delighted to welcome Ecolab to the McLaren Racing family, and this is a partnership built on shared goals. The early adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a great step forward in our efforts to take positive climate action and this collaboration will enable us to explore credible options to reduce the emissions from our race logistics. It is also a signal to the aviation industry that there is demand for them to accelerate their decarbonisation plans and increase the supply of SAF.“

Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO, Ecolab, said:

“Ecolab’s 47,000 associates across more than 170 countries love being part of a high-performing team that delivers for customers. The partnership with McLaren will help us recognise our associates for their contributions to our commercial success, while creating new ways for us to work together on shared technology, innovation and sustainability goals.“
