Avalanche Andretti Formula E Awarded FIA’s Three Star Environmental Accreditation and ISO 14001

Avalanche Andretti Formula E today announced that the team has been awarded the highest level of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile’s Environmental Accreditation programme, following an audit of its Environmental Management System in March 2022.

In August 2021, the team was certified in accordance with the ISO 14001 international environmental management standard (EMS), an internationally agreed standard that sets out particular requirements. The FIA’s Three Star Environmental Accreditation certification is another programme specific to motorsport that helps to encourage stakeholders to measure and enhance their environmental performance.

This announcement follows Andretti Autosport’s newest internal initiative “We Think Green” a campaign with a goal of certifying the team’s operations model in sustainable practices. This program starts with employees, the heart of the business, and speaks to the core values of preserving the legacy of Andretti Autosport, fostering a culture of innovation, upholding integrity through compliance in environmental legislation, and remaining accountable to environmental protection, including pollution prevention. The focus is not on environmental management alone, but also on continuously improving existing processes and procedures and laying the foundations for operating in a sustainable fashion.

Andretti Autosport has a long history of excellence and continuously raises the bar both on and off the track. These purposeful steps across Andretti Autosport’s race teams aims to work off the track to make a collective impact through the multiple race teams across multiple series around the world.
