ACP – Automóvel Club de Portugal, as the organiser of Baja Portalegre 500, is committed to the FIA Sustainability Programme, the FIM Environmental Code, the FPAK Environmental Sustainability Code and the FMP 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, Baja Portalegre 500, 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, FIM, FPAK and FMP regulations;
• Inform and train everyone involved in the organisation about its environmental policy;
• Promote environmental awareness among our stakeholders (organisation, drivers, teams, volunteers, media, spectators, partners and external suppliers) and encouraging them to comply with and enforce good environmental practices;
• 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 car sharing and 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 ecological objectives.

This Environmental Policy, supported by a strong "performance against objectives" attitude, will reguarly be reviewed and updated, ensuring continuous improvement of the entire Environmental Management System.
