Environmental Sustainability

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the need to protect our environment, sustainability has become a top priority for many businesses – particularly those who may have the appearance of relying on finite resources like fossil fuels.

For the ARDC, sustainability is not only important for the health of our planet, but also for the public image of our sport.

Conducting our business in an environmentally sustainable manner – reducing our carbon footprint, being proactive in the areas of energy conservation and forward-thinking practices, and creating policy to find new solutions and alternatives to traditional energy sources – is of high importance to our charter.

By taking steps to reduce our environmental impact and implementing sustainable practices, we show that we are committed to protecting the planet and the future of Motorsport.

We have implemented the following sustainable business practices and initiatives:
