The FIA institute gives Vodafone McLaren Mercedes an Environmental Excellence award.
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes hit a high point recently as it became the first motor sport stakeholder in the world to receive the FIA Institute’s Environmental Award for the Achievement of Excellence. The award is aimed at evaluating and reducing the environmental impact of motor sport on the planet and helps motor sport stakeholders to measure, improve and be recognised for their environmental performance. Underpinning the Sustainability Programme is an environmental accreditation scheme and McLaren had applied for accreditation and underwent a series of stringent assessments set out by FIA Institute environmental experts. The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One team achieved the highest level and will hopefully encourage others within motor sport to improve their environmental performance.
