This season also saw the DS PENSKE Formula E racing team earn the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Program is aimed at helping motorsport teams and mobility stakeholders worldwide measure and enhance their environmental performance. To achieve accreditation, applicants must demonstrate the existence of a variety of environmental standards, transparently document them in detail in an environmental management system and define clear sustainability goals. By awarding the team the three-star accolade, FIA recognizes that they demonstrate best practices and the commitment to seek continual improvement through implementing an environmental management system.
