The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has awarded the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya the 3-Star Environmental Accreditation once again as part of its sustainability programme. This recognition, which the Catalan track has received for ten consecutive years, demonstrates its pioneering environmental commitment in the world of sport and motor racing.
In 2015, the circuit became the first Formula 1 track to obtain Excellence-level accreditation from the FIA’s sustainability programme. The initiative aims to improve sustainability in motorsport worldwide, establishing a framework for the environmental and social management of various stakeholders and promoting actions to advance in this area.
In its report, the FIA highlighted that the Circuit has “promoted the use of renewable energies and self-consumption of electricity through its large photovoltaic installation, as well as implementing waste management measures including food donation programmes, sustainable mobility initiatives, and active biodiversity and noise management through monitoring and mitigation actions”.
The FIA also recognises and includes in its report other distinctions awarded to the Circuit, such as the ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 20121:2013 certifications for sustainable Grand Prix events.
In its statement of purpose and values, the Circuit bases its development on striking a balance between environmental protection and improvement, and social and economic respect and benefit, under the premise of CirCuitCat’s 3C management: Conscience, Commitment and Coherence
Following an exceptional 2025, in which the Catalan track was recognised as the world’s most sustainable motor racing venue by the Sustainable Circuits Index™ (SCI™) study, the Circuit is committed to continuing to generate positive value for the environment and the community through good practices.
