MONZA CIRCUIT RENEWS ITS 3 FIA STARS
The important recognition confirmed for the commitment in the field of environmental sustainability
Confirmed the highest category within the environmental accreditation framework of the International Automobile Federation
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is once again FIA 3 Stars . After obtaining the highest category in 2022, SIAS's commitment to sustainability has been constant, as also reported in the reasons that guaranteed the renewal of the three FIA stars: " The circuit documentation and the results presented in the Monza Sustainability Plan underline the strong environmental commitment of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza SIAS Spa. The action plans undertaken by the circuit to reduce the environmental impact and optimize the consumption of resources confirm the alignment and compliance of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza with the FIA three-star environmental accreditation standards ". A result that is the fruit of constant attention by SIAS to the issues of environmental and social sustainability, recognized both locally and globally, starting right from the place that hosts the Temple of Speed: the Monza Park . In 2024, over 8,000 new seedlings were planted after the storm that severely tested the park on July 24, 2023. A reforestation process implemented thanks to the collaboration with the Lombardy Region and the command of the Forestry, Environmental and Agri-food Units of the Carabinieri Biodiversity group , which, with the projects "Every Pilot, a Tree" and "Biodiversity Village", are an active part of a process together with the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. An Autodromo that also looks to the environment in energy production, having adopted a "Green" tariff for several years that uses renewable sources and HVO generators powered by biofuels . Education and planning have produced a virtuous circle that, over the last 5 years, has brought the Autodromo Nazionale Monza from 15% of recycled waste to over 51% in 2024, with an increase of 20% compared to last year. Also thanks to concrete initiatives such as free access to drinking water dispensers which, in the Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d'Italia alone, also thanks to the collaboration with BrianzAcque, avoided the use and subsequent disposal of approximately 580,000 plastic bottles . The collaboration with ATS Monza e Brianza and CSV was also renewed, which, with the Food Donation , were able to help over 270 families in difficulty by distributing 3,503 kg of food products. Great satisfaction for the confirmation of the 3 FIA stars by the president of SIAS Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Giuseppe Redaelli: “
SIAS's constant commitment leads us, today, to be able to celebrate this great result and, above all, to think that the path taken in the name of environmental and social sustainability is the right one. A commitment that must never be lacking, but that must be increasingly present and marked by planning and setting objectives that can keep the Autodromo Nazionale Monza among the excellences ".
