Formula 1 has announced that the ten teams participating in the championship already have three-star environmental accreditation from the International Automobile Federation (FIA).thus becoming the first motor sport where all its members achieve the highest level of sustainability that this organization seeks.
The program for awarding this recognition began in 2011 and with it up to 17 variables are measured from transport planning to noise management through carbon emissions. An independent auditor is in charge of assessing compliance at various points.
In the case of the Formula 1 championship, which also saw the distinction renewed, it was obtained for the first time in 2020.. So he set out on a path that was then followed not only by the teams but also by the promoters of the races, circuits around the world or the Pirelli firm.
“Achieving this milestone is an important moment and one that demonstrates the continued commitment to change from the entire Formula 1 community to achieve our sustainability goals.. Much work remains to be done, but we are committed to achieving our goals, continuing to innovate continuously and setting a positive example for the motorsport community and beyond,” said Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1 President and CEO .
“As we move to meet our sustainability strategy, environmental management systems play an important role. From incorporating continuous improvement into our processes to communicating with our partners, management systems fail to ensure that we all deliver a more sustainable environment at events and at the championship,” said by Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1.
For his part, Felipe Calderón, president of the FIA’s environment and sustainability commission, said: “Being at the pinnacle of motorsport, it is important that the FIA Formula 1 World Championship sets the highest standards for environmental sustainability.. The renewal of this accreditation recognizes that the championship continues to prioritize and achieve best practices to achieve its goals.”
“We are moving in the right direction, but we can all and must do more. This announcement is a great endorsement of the program, which provides a framework for the motorsport community at all levels to meet the environmental issues we all face” , he completed.
