Milestone reached as all 10 Formula 1 teams achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation

Formula 1 has become the first motorsport championship in the world to have all member teams achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation, the highest level of environmental sustainability recognition from the sport’s governing body.

Meanwhile, the FIA Formula One World Championship has renewed its own Three-Star Environmental Accreditation as it strives to become Net Zero by 2030 – a target that has been embraced by stakeholders from teams to manufacturers and promoters to partners.

The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme was launched in 2011 to help the motorsport industry assess and enhance their environmental performance, with performance across a range of 17 criteria measured, ranging from energy use and supply chain management to transport planning, noise management and carbon emissions.

To ensure that impartiality is maintained during the auditing process for the accreditation, the audits are carried out by an independent, qualified.

The FIA Formula One World Championship was first awarded the accreditation back in 2020 and since then many of the sport’s key stakeholders have embarked on their own journeys to achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation.

Alongside the 10 F1 teams, tyre supplier and Global Partner Pirelli hold the Three-Star Environmental Accreditation, while several race promoters and host circuits have achieved it, including events in Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, and the UAE, with the UK, Japan and Singapore also possessing the accreditation at some level.

This is in addition to others holding the key ISO14001 or ISO20121 certifications that respectively help an organisation set up an effective environmental management system, and offer guidance and best practice to help manage an event and control its social, economic, and environmental impact.
