The FIA has awarded transmission specialist Xtrac with the two-stars in its Environmental Accreditation Programme.
“We’re delighted to receive this certification. It’s a big step forward for us and a significant achievement for a Tier 1 motorsport supplier,” said Xtrac’s chief executive, Adrian Moore.
The FIA environmental accreditation program is dedicated to helping motorsport and mobility stakeholders to measure and enhance their environmental performance. The program audit assesses practices in environmental management, including energy use, water consumption, waste management, ground and water pollution, materials design and procurement, transportation, biodiversity and heritage, noise pollution, air quality, and monitoring of carbon emissions.
Based on an evaluation, the FIA sustainability auditors discussed potential areas for improvement with Xtrac. Once this work was finished, using the FIA’s comprehensive self-assessment tool, Xtrac applied for an audit. It received confirmation of its two-star accreditation, a certificate and an audit report with additional recommendations. The certification is valid for two years.
“We aim to continue improving our environmental performance during this period. It was a massive team effort and very worthwhile. We want to thank Cristiana Pace, Bridget Haywood and Adam Ellis at Enovation Consulting for their expertise in helping us achieve this milestone and all of the hard-working and skilled staff at Xtrac who made this possible” said Xtrac’s people and culture director, Kirsty Knight.
