The ACP – Automóvel Club de Portugal, as the organiser of Rally Raid Portugal, is committed to the FIA Sustainability Programme and the FIM Environmental Code, with the aim of minimising the environmental impact of the event and setting an example on environmental issues, both nationally and internationally.
Therefore, Rally-Raid Portugal, through its Environmental Management System, will be guided by the following principles:
- Comply with applicable environmental legislation, as well as other obligations voluntarily assumed, including the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme and the FIM Environmental Code;
- Inform and train everyone involved in the organisation about its environmental policy;
- Promote environmental awareness among our stakeholders (organisation, drivers, teams, volunteers, media, spectators and all external suppliers) and encourage them to make a personal commitment to this issue;
- Take into account the environmental impact when choosing partners and suppliers, as well as in the process of selecting and purchasing products and services;
- Reduce the environmental impact in terms of transportation, as far as possible, encouraging carpooling and car sharing, as well as the use of public transport;
- Promote responsibility in preserving the environment by managing and monitoring the direct and indirect impacts of the event, in particular energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and other natural resources, and proper waste management;
- Encourage adequate and proactive management of environmental risk, in particular pollution prevention and emergency response to accidents and/or disasters;
- Promote the continuous improvement of processes, practices and environmental developments by defining and evaluating progressively more ambitious environmental objectives.
This Environmental Policy, supported by a strong “performance against objectives” attitude, will regularly be reviewed and updated, ensuring continuous improvement of the entire Environmental Management System.
