To achieve accreditation, applicants must demonstrate the existence of variety of environmental standards, transparently document them in detail in an environmental management system and define clear sustainability goals.
By awarding DS PENSKE with that special three-star accolade, the FIA recognizes that the team demonstrates best practice and commitment to seek continual improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system.

New entrants have an extension to achieve this rating, and 10 of 11 teams on the Season 9 grid have now reached this goal.
