Movistar wins 1st TdS Sustainability Award

The Tour de Suisse’s vision is to become the most environmentally sustainable Pro Cycling World Tour. Comprehensive emissions analyses, the definition of a Climate Transition Plan and the implementation of the first concrete measures have created the basis for this. The efforts to reduce emissions extend from our own organisation, stage venues, partners, suppliers and spectators through to the competing teams.

On the occasion of our first initiative called ‘Race within the Race’, the latter were assessed through a survey and an evaluation by our partner Quambio on their team activities relating to the topic of ecological sustainability. Based on this, the Tour de Suisse, Primeo Energie and Quambio selected the team with the most comprehensive approach to climate protection.

The Tour de Suisse Sustainability Award 2024 goes to Team Movistar. The decisive factors were the proven track record over several years through regular emissions measurements, defined reduction strategies and the integration of the entire team in the various activities.

The team wins a symbolic amount in favour of a charitable organisation of its choice. The drivers will wear a special blue start number during this year’s race.
