About the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme

The FIA Environmental Accreditation programme, launched in 2011, helps motorsport and mobility stakeholders worldwide measure and enhance their environmental performance. The programme assesses performance across 17 criteria, including energy use, supply chain management, transport planning, noise management, and carbon emissions. To ensure impartiality, the accreditation audits are conducted by an independent, qualified auditor.
