Moët & Chandon is proud to partner with Formula E in the upcoming ninth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
2023, the fifth consecutive year of this alliance, marks Formula E’s first-ever race in Sub-Saharan Africa on the streets of Greenpoint and the Waterfront, Cape Town.
That Moët & Chandon will be present as the official champagne sponsor on this historic and celebratory day for Africa is a privilege.
Kicking off on 25 February, the City of Cape Town is setting the scene for the much-talked about event which combines edge-of-seat street racing and cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.
As the world’s first international, fully electric street racing series, Formula E puts the planet first. Through its pioneering alternative energy solutions, Formula E is flipping the script in favour of a cleaner, faster future.
It’s this determination to revolutionise an industry in honour of nature that resonates with Moët & Chandon. For the Grande Maison, sharing the magic of champagne with the world is its legacy, but forging a sustainable future is its pledge.
Through Natura Nostra, the Maison’s extensive biodiversity programme, Moët & Chandon is on its way to curbing its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 (compared to 2018) through transformative shifts in its interaction with the environment. The ongoing Formula E partnership is one of those sustainability initiatives.
For the big day in Greenpoint, Cape Town, Moët & Chandon will be present at the winner’s podium as well as in the exclusive VIP lounge. Invited guests will celebrate the long-awaited return of street racing to South Africa with the chink of champagne-filled glasses. A glamorous gala dinner will be held on the eve of the event to underscore the Maison’s Natura Nostra initiative and its pledge to the planet.
