Alpine has finally received its 3-star environmental accreditation from the FIA
The French racing team can now boast the highest level of FIA environmental accreditation. It is a recognition of their environmental management efforts. They are the 6th team to achieve this in Formula 1.
The BWT Alpine F1 Team is proud to announce that it has successfully obtained the three-star environmental accreditation from the FIA, as part of the FIA’s environmental accreditation program, for its Enstone and Viry Châtillon sites. This was announced earlier today by Alpine. The company based in Viry-Châtillon has been awarded the highest rating of 3 stars by the International Automobile Federation.
The environmental performance of the team was reviewed during an official audit conducted last December at the Enstone site. The Viry-Châtillon site, which is already ISO 14001 certified, underwent a remote audit. The FIA thus reviewed the team’s best practices in areas such as energy consumption, biodiversity, and overall carbon emissions, announced Alpine today on its website.
We are proud to announce that we have successfully achieved the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation for both of our sites – Enstone and Viry Châtillon.

« It’s a big step forward in our environmental roadmap. We are now working towards obtaining ISO 14001 accreditation for Enstone, which is part of Alpine’s sustainable development strategy.

Haas, Mercedes, McLaren, Aston Martin, and Sauber had previously received the same rating. To be eligible for it, the team must use 100% renewable energy in the United Kingdom, 80% of its lights must be LED, and all its CO2 emissions must be declared.
