All rounds of the 2023 FIA World Rally Championship calendar have achieved FIA three-star environmental accreditation, demonstrating WRC Promoter’s dedication to a sustainable future for the championship. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that with the support of WRC Promoter, Chile, Central European Rally, and FORUM8 Rally Japan, all joining the existing stops on the calendar, obtained their third star. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme aims to introduce clear and consistent environmental management in motorsport and mobility, assisting stakeholders worldwide in measuring and improving their environmental performance. Notable achievements among the WRC event organizers included a comprehensive impact assessment in Japan, which involved identifying flora and fauna species across all rally stages, assessing risks, and implementing management measures. Additionally, the Central European Rally prioritized carpooling and mass transport initiatives, engaging fans in reducing their carbon footprint. WRC Promoter Sustainability Manager Santiago Peña Gomez expressed delight in successfully supporting event promoters in obtaining their FIA 3-star environmental accreditations in 2023. Peña Gomez also highlighted the satisfaction of working closely with the Central European Rally, who achieved their 3-star level ahead of schedule. Moving forward, WRC Promoter aims to not only maintain their commitment to the program but also raise the bar in standardizing the sustainability performance of their events. The 2024 calendar will see Tet Rally Latvia and ORLEN 80th Rally Poland, as newcomers, start with two stars as they work towards obtaining their third star by 2025.
