Ferrari awarded highest rating of FIA Environmental Accreditation

Ferrari has been awarded the highest level of FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme certification.

The programme which has been developed by F1's governing body is aimed at helping the big names in motorsport and the automotive sector enhance environmental performance.

The Scuderia has been awarded three stars for its efforts in reducing its carbon impact, with a number of projects coming into force this year, including the elimination of non-reusable plastic during race events that has been in effect since the Spanish Grand Prix in May.

Team principal Mattia Binotto said: “Achieving the three stars in the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme is an important acknowledgement for Ferrari.

"The issue of environmental sustainability is becoming more and more of a priority in motor racing.

"It is a commitment that we feel strongly about as a Scuderia, both in our day-to-day activities - as evidenced by the two projects that we implemented in early 2021 - as well as over the long term.

"Formula 1 has now reached a very high technological level in terms of power unit efficiency, and we are working hard, alongside the FIA, Formula 1 and the other car manufacturers involved in defining the regulatory framework for the future, with the aim of transferring the best on-track solutions onto road-going cars, a fundamental component in Ferrari’s DNA.”

F1 is aiming to become a carbon-neutral sport by 2030, with synthetic fuels being produced for competition to reduce carbon dioxide emissions for the new breed of power unit which is aimed to be implemented in 2025.
