Aimed at helping motorsport and
mobility stakeholders worldwide to measure and enhance their environmental
performance, the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme is an environmental
management certification system consisting of a three-level framework, of which
the Promoters have achieved the highest level.
This is just the latest step on
WRC and Rallycross Promoters’ journey towards a more sustainable future,
adhering to the same environmental benchmark it pushes its stakeholders to
aspire to.
The acknowledgment came from the
FIA following an on-site audit in the Promoters’ Munich offices from an
independent FIA-appointed auditor with International Organisation for
Standardisation (ISO) experience.
The auditor evaluated the
solidity and implementation of the Promoters’ environmental management system to
address environmental management
principles and key impact areas. The audit results highlighted best practices
in the fields of communication, through to the development of Beyond Rally as
an umbrella platform for sustainability initiatives and biodiversity, with
clear commitments and tools to safeguard internationally protected areas in the
framework of WRC and ERC sporting activities.
This follows on from the WRC becoming the first FIA World Championship
to mandate three-star environmental accreditation for event organisers, back in
2016.
In the meantime, both Promoters
continue to work closely with their stakeholders to create more sustainable
events. To assist with this, the Promoters have introduced a Carbon Footprint
Tool aimed at assisting rally and race organisers to measure their carbon
impact, as well offering a sustainability support package with guidelines,
templates and tools for event organisers.
