Octane Racing Group - Official Promoter of the Formula 1
Pirelli Canadian Grand Prix awarded prestigious FIA 3-star environmental certification
Montreal, May 26, 2025 – Octane Racing Group, official promoter of the Formula 1 Pirelli Canadian Grand Prix, is proud to announce that it has been awarded 3-star environmental certification by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). This international recognition, the highest distinction awarded by the FIA in terms of sustainable development, underlines Octane's rigorous commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, promoting responsible practices and achieving the highest standards of sustainability in motor sport.
This certification is an addition to the ISO 14001:2015 certification obtained earlier this year, which already attested to exemplary management of environmental issues in the organization of events. Together, these two certifications confirm Octane's aim to take concrete action for a more sustainable future, in line with Formula 1's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
Obtaining FIA 3-star certification is the result of a rigorous process that evaluates an organization's policies, governance, actions and results in terms of sustainable development. It is a testament not only to Octane's compliance with international standards, but also to its commitment to innovation, continuous improvement and the involvement of all stakeholders - funders, fans, teams, suppliers and local communities - in its environmental approach.
‘’This double achievement confirms that our strategy is ambitious, structured and credible. It reflects our conviction that a world-class event can be a model of ecological responsibility. It's also a strong signal to the industry as a whole,’’ says Sandrine Garneau, Chief Operating Officer of Octane Racing Group.
