2025
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 2026
EKO Acropolis Rally is dedicated to continuously improving its environmental sustainability performance in accordance with national and European legislation, as well as the FIA's sustainability programme and its Environmental Accreditation Framework.
Having been awarded the 3-star FIA Environmental Accreditation since 2022, the top management is keen on advancing the event’s environmental performance and continues to 'lighten' its environmental footprint with the assistance of all stakeholders of the Rally. They will make every effort to renew the 3-star FIA Environmental Accreditation this year as well.
We focus on reducing and better managing the waste generated directly from the event’s operation, raising environmental awareness among participants, volunteers, staff, and spectators, and contributing to the global fight against climate change by using fewer natural resources, water, and energy. Therefore, we encourage active leadership and participation from all stakeholders.
During the EKO Acropolis Rally 2025, we continued powering our Service Park in Lamia with 100% certified renewable energy, thereby minimising the overall carbon footprint of the event. We will carry on reducing our carbon footprint for 2026 by implementing similar innovative actions at the new Service Park location in Loutraki, Peloponnese.
The EKO Acropolis Rally recognises that the event is connected to the natural beauty of the Greek landscape. From the peaks of Peloponnese and Central Greece to the historic centre of Athens, our activities take place within ecosystems under threat from climate change, and we must protect them. Our "Leave Only Tire Marks" philosophy ensures that the excitement of the World Rally Championship helps in preserving our natural heritage and safeguarding both the environment and human communities.
The Organizing Committee is actively consulting with all national, regional, and local authorities on environmental matters. All involved municipalities and the appropriate public services are supporting our efforts to lessen the environmental impact.
The Environmental Sustainability Officer, reporting directly to top management of the Organization, is responsible for overseeing compliance with all environmental protection measures and legislation and for ensuring that we meet our environmental commitments.
With the development of our Environmental Management System, we monitor and manage any environmental impact during the preparation, hosting, and demobilization phases of the Rally. In the meantime, we communicate to all teams how they can assist and become key players in creating a more environmentally sustainable EKO Acropolis Rally.
