NEW YORK: The ABB FIA Formula E Championship has received a renewal of its 3-star accreditation against the FIA environmental certification framework following an audit during the New York City E-Prix in July 2018. This certification means that Formula E has managed to keep up with the highest level of commitment to the environmental and sustainability goals set out by the FIA, having first applied for it in 2015.
Key elements of the FIA accreditation criteria include management commitment, communication, training and leadership as well as how the organisation manages specific impact areas such as transport, energy-use, and waste-handling among others.
Having recently achieved ISO certification according to the ISO 20121:2012 management standard, which follows similar guidelines to the FIA’s accreditation checklist, Formula E clearly remains one of the shining examples of an FIA championship promoter that implements an environmental management system focused on continual improvement and reduced impact in the running of its events.
“The ABB FIA Formula E Championship demonstrates great leadership through its combined efforts within environmental sustainability,” FIA VP for Sport Graham Stoker said.
“It has implemented an environmental management system to improve its operations according to best practice, and at the same time, is pushing forward and promoting new and cleaner technologies.”
