What Enovation Consulting | BCorp | ESG in Sport does

Enovation Consulting is a B Corp-certified strategic consultancy specializing in sustainability and ESG for the sports sector, founded in 2018 by former F1 engineer Dr. Cristiana Pace following her pioneering PhD on data-driven sustainability in motorsport organizations. The firm operates from Silverstone, UK with a European HQ opened in Rome in 2025, and employs 12-13 professionals with backgrounds spanning climate science, sustainability, F1 engineering, sports media, and education. Its core offering is project-based consulting covering sustainability strategy, FIA environmental accreditation support (One to Three Star), ISO 14001 and ISO 20121 certification, Scope 1-3 carbon footprint calculation, life cycle assessment, ESG reporting, circular economy consulting, and sustainable event management.

The company's differentiated technology assets are two proprietary annual indices: the Sustainable Circuits Index (SCI) benchmarking 117 permanent and temporary motorsport circuits against 21 criteria, and the Sustainable Championships Index (SChI) assessing 89 motorsport championships against 25 criteria. Both are co-developed with UCL School of Management's Professor Paolo Taticchi. In 2025, Enovation also launched the Sustainable Motorsport Alliance, a not-for-profit membership platform connecting circuits, championships, and manufacturers. The firm has served 60+ organizations across motorsport (Williams Racing, Haas F1, Formula E, FIA, Silverstone, Suzuka, WRC), football (AS Roma, Lega Serie A, ECA), tennis (Nitto ATP Finals), sailing (Germany SailGP), and athletics (European Athletics U18), spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania.

The business model is enterprise project-based consulting with per-engagement pricing, complemented by research publications and the Sustainable Motorsport Alliance membership. Distribution is exclusively direct via the founder network, industry conferences, thought leadership content, and referrals. The firm has won two consecutive King's Awards for Enterprise (2025 International Trade, 2026 Sustainable Development), B Corp certification with a score of 118, and FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation, making it the first sports sustainability agency to achieve these recognitions.
