McLaren maintains its environmental accreditation

The FIA’s environmental accreditation program aims to help stakeholders in motorsports measure their environmental performance. With a clear and consistent program, this system provides a three-level system to validate the activities of these stakeholders.

McLaren Racing was the first team to obtain this accreditation in 2013 and continues to be a pioneer in this field. This is why the International Automobile Federation is once again granting the team its three-star accreditation, for the ninth consecutive year.

The president of the FIA Environment and Disability Commission, Felipe Calderon, spoke on the matter. « I congratulate McLaren on their achievements and the renewal of their three-star FIA Environmental Accreditation, which demonstrates the strength of their long-term commitment to sustainable development. », applauded Calderon.

« McLaren was the first motorsport organization in the world to receive the FIA Environmental Accreditation in 2013, he continued. « The actions taken since then have brought McLaren to the highest level of standards in accordance with the three-star level. This award is evidence that McLaren has consistently remained at the forefront of innovations to create a sustainable sport in the future and marks a milestone in this journey.

Ken Wilson, Director of Sustainable Development at McLaren, also reacted to the news. McLaren Racing has a legacy of leadership in terms of sustainability and we recognize our responsibility to find solutions to environmental challenges with our teams, operations, and practices. Receiving FIA Accreditation for the ninth consecutive year shows that we continue to move in the right direction, Wilson stated.

(but) We know that there are still many things that we need to do. We will always focus on instilling a mindset by educating and raising awareness about the environmental cause, in parallel with the recommendations of the FIA. » he concluded.
