Mr Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel, four-time Formula 1 World Champion, will receive The Perfect World Foundation Award 2026 for his long-term commitment to raising awareness and driving positive environmental and social change within sport and beyond it. With reach comes responsibility, a principle that has guided Vettel.

Sebastian Vettel has long used his global platform to promote greater awareness and understanding of the environment, in parti¬cular for biodiversity and the importance of protecting healthy ecosystems through Sebastian Vettel V5 Projects. His engagement spans issues such as the protection of forests, pollinators and natural habitats. By connecting sport, culture and environmental responsibility, Vettel has reached new audiences and helped place subjects about the environment higher on the public agenda, using his influence to inspire long-term change beyond the world of motorsport.

“The theme of The Perfect World Foundation Award 2026 is sport, and Sebastian Vettel is honoured for demonstrating how influence within the world of sport can be used to inspire engagement and action for the environment and biodiversity beyond the arena of competition,” says Ragnhild Jacobsson, CEO of The Perfect World Foundation.
