On 15 March 2023 Ferrari were granted ISO 20121 certification, relating to the international standard for sustainable event design and management, linked to the participation in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The certification is issued by TÜV NORD Italia.
From the 2023 racing season, the Maranello marque made its return into the top class of the World Endurance Championship with the Ferrari 499P, half a century after its last appearance. With this background, the Ferrari Group went on to define the team’s Sustainable Development Policy, integrating it into the five pillars of the Ferrari Group’s sustainability strategy, as well as product and process interventions and innovations.
Ferrari S.p.A., Attività Sportive GT and Competizioni GT have adopted a sustainable management system for the team participating in the FIA WEC to incentivise every action over the short, medium and long term, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact whilst, at the same time, enhancing the social and economic benefits produced by the team. Such a system includes significant focus on all stakeholder involvement, namely, Ferrari personnel, suppliers, partners, sponsors, series organisers, circuits, guests and spectators, as well as the local communities where the championship rounds take place.
The Ferrari LMH Team achievements follow on from those obtained by the Ferrari Challenge Europe in 2021, becoming the first European single-marque championship to receive the aforementioned certification, a commitment then continued and implemented in 2022 and 2023, with the granting of the new certifications in accordance with the principles set out in the ISO 20121 Sustainable Development Policy. Ferrari and AF Corse, furthermore, in June 2022, on the occasion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, were awarded the Sustainable Endurance Award, the recognition rewarding sustainability-linked programmes, undertaken by Constructors and Teams participating in the FIA WEC.
